Fill a small pot with cool water. Carefully drop eggs in pot but do not overcrowd the pot. Let the eggs swim around in the pot. If you're boiling 200 eggs, separate them into batches. Crowd the eggs, they don't cook evenly. Place 5 eggs in a huge pot and they'll overcook because the amount of water will take so much longer to boil.
Place the pot over high heat and bring to a rapid boil. AS SOON AS the water boils, turn off the heat and cover with a lid.
Set a timer for 12 minutes.
DING DING DING! Drain the water from the pot, shake the eggs around in the pot to crack the shells and run cold water over them. Peel and enjoy!
