<human>: How do I make my own hard boiled eggs without using the microwave?
<bot>: To make hard-boiled eggs without a microwave, start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Then carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and let them cook for about 8 minutes. After that time is up, remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in an ice bath until they are cool enough to handle. Finally, peel and enjoy your hard-boiled eggs!
