Perfect eggs and perfect pasta! A great boiling method

For perfect pasta

Boil up yer water

Throw in yer pasta

Bring back to boil

Lid, and remove from heat

Let sit for

10 mins: most firm

15 mins: less firm

For the perfect boiled egg

Put the eggs in a big ass pot.

Fill the pot with water so there’s at least an inch over the tallest egg

Bring the pot of eggs to a boil

Let boil for one minute only

Lid, remove from heat

Let sit for ten minutes

Notes: By the time I notice the pot boiling, it’s probably been a minute.  Old eggs are best to cook this way.  Egg salad is maybe the most delicious thing to spoon from the fridge? I think so.
