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.

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.
