The easiest method I've used for hard boiled eggs is;
Cold water to start, salt the water, lay the eggs in, bring to a boil and let it boil for about 1 minute. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let it sit like this for about five minutes then drain off the hot water. Leave the lid on and shake and roll the pot to crack the shells. Put cold water in and the shells nearly fall off.
