Do people out there really cook the eggs for 18 minutes after they
boil ??  Whenever I leave them for > 8-9 minutes the yolks get really
hard and not nearly as tastey and fluffy as when I remember to take
them off after about 6-7.  I rinse them immediately in cold water
and never have peeling trouble.

p.s. don't forget a drop of salt in the water so that any cracks
in the eggs won't leak all over the pan.
