I wanted to test out the video capabilities of my new camera, so I made a video of hard boiling eggs. Once I had the video, I played around with some effects and then added a dance track underneath it. Maybe my next video will be making toast? I also have a recipe for ice cubes. 
For this video, I setup a VIMEO account. I have noticed slow performance on YouTube this past month. Anyone else? Maybe it is a Comcast thing? This video is also on my YouTube channel, but I prefer the VIMEO quality.
Hard Boiled Eggs – Iced Bath Method from Michael Allen Smith on Vimeo.
Making hard boiled eggs using the iced bath method for easy peeling. Boil for 3 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for 7 more minutes. Dump water, rinse eggs and then load them into a container of ice water. Let sit for 2 more minutes. Peel then eat.

I know that this post is not really about boiling eggs but since you are into cooking, here is Julia Child’s recipe for a perfect boiled egg: http://www.recipesource.com/main-dishes/eggs/01/rec0137.html
I use a simplified version and the eggs come out really well (without the nasty blue ring around the yolk): Use the freshest eggs you can find and make sure that you bring them to room temperature before cooking. Place in a pan and cover completely with water. Bring the water to a “rolling boil” (like in your video), take the pan off the heat immediately, cover and let it sit for 20 mins. Then run cold water over the eggs to stop the cooking. I usually peel the eggs under running water as well and dry them on paper towels. This process makes life easy particularly in generating large quantities of deviled eggs. Enjoy!
Your method is very similar to Alton Browns as well. I don’t have a lid, so I do that 3 minute boil.
Use a heavy plate as a lid or even a piece of foil. As an Alton Brown fan, you should know that he does not have equipment in his kitchen that cannot serve more than one purpose
Good idea. I have 4 eggs I need to boil tomorrow!
