Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan.
Fill the pan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
Put the saucepan on medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and turn off the heat (leave the pan on the hot burner).
Set a timer depending on your desired doneness:
Soft-boiled: 4-6 minutes
Medium-boiled: 7-9 minutes
Hard-boiled: 10-12 minutes
When time is up, transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes.
