Perfect hardboiled eggs—
Bring 1 inch water to rolling boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Place eggs in steamer basket. Transfer basket to saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to medium (small wisps of steam should escape from beneath lid), and cook eggs for 13 minutes.
When eggs are almost finished cooking, combine 2 cups ice cubes and 2 cups cold water in medium bowl. Using tongs or spoon, transfer eggs to ice bath; let sit for 15 minutes. Peel before using.
Cut the boiled eggs in half, lengthwise. Carefully scoop the yolks out and mash them in a small bowl with the mayonnaise. Scoop (or pipe by filling a ziplock bag with the filling and clipping a corner of the bag) the yolks back into the whites. Sprinkle with spices, maybe add a few capers?
Devour!
