Living - Hard Boiling the Perfect Egg?! And Decorating Ideas!

I seem to always struggle with creating the "perfect" hard boiled egg, but found this method and am going to try it out.  Is this how you hard boil your eggs?
- PLACE eggs in saucepan large enough to hold them in single layer. ADD cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch. HEAT over high heat just to boiling. REMOVE from burner. COVER pan.

-LET EGGS STAND in hot water about 15 minutes for large eggs (12 minutes for medium eggs; 18 minutes for extra large).

-DRAIN immediately and serve warm. OR, cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water, then REFRIGERATE

*One of our family traditions while growing up was to write each person's name with a white crayon on an egg and then place it in the color dye!  The name will stand out once dyed.
