1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Turn down to a simmer. Gently place the eggs into the water and set your timer depending on how you want your eggs done:

  • 5 minutes for soft
  • 7 minutes for medium
  • 9 minutes for medium hard
  • 11 minutes for hard

2. Immediately place the eggs into iced water to stop the cooking process, peel immediately if you want to eat the eggs hot.
