    Place eight eggs in a cooking pot. Now pour in enough water to cover the egg's heads so that they boil well. Turn on the heat and cover the pot. When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat of the stove and let the eggs simmer for two minutes. Turn off the heat and let the eggs remain in the hot water for another fifteen minute so that they are cooked well and hardened.
