   shells actually come loose.

   boiling.  Reduce heat to low; 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.
