In a large saucepan, arrange eggs in a single layer. Cover with room temperature water. Bring water to a boil and keep it boiling 1 minute. Turn off heat, cover the pan and let the eggs sit 6 minutes. Have a bowl of ice water standing by. Immediately drain the eggs and put them in the ice water. As soon as the eggs are cool, peel them and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and put in a medium bowl. Set aside the egg whites.
