Bring a pot of water to a full, rolling boil.

Carefully Add Eggs:
Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water one by one.

Adjust Heat:
Lower the heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil without aggressive bubbling.

Cook to Desired Doneness:

Soft-boiled: 6–7 minutes

Medium-boiled: 8–9 minutes

Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes

Ice Bath:
Once done, immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.

Peel and Enjoy:
Tap each egg gently on a hard surface, roll to loosen the shell, and peel under running water for best results.
