Put the eggs into the cold water (just enough to cover the eggs) and cover tightly. Put the pot on the stove on high. When the water comes to a rolling boil then turn off the stove but leave the pot on the hot burner with the lid on and leave it for five minutes. The eggs will come out perfect.
I'd been doing it something similar but leaving for 10. I'll have to try reducing the time by a few minutes and see if it makes a difference.
