simmer, covered, about 1-1/2 hours.* Remove from heat. Let cool to
room temperature in cooking liquid.

Refrigerate eggs, in cooking liquid, until serving time**. At serving
time, drain eggs, discarding liquid; shell eggs and leave whole or
cut in half.

* Heat may be turned off at any time and cooking resumed later

** The longer the eggs soak, at least several hours, the better
flavor they will have. They can be done several days in advance.
