Place eggs in a saucepan just large enough to hold them comfortably and add enough cold tap water to cover by 1". Cover and bring just to boiling. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Drain eggs carefully, then let cold water from the faucet run over the eggs in the pan until they can be handled comfortably.
