Cooking time depends on how you like your eggs: 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled, 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled.
For soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks, bring water to a boil first, then gently lower the eggs in and cook for 6-7 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, place eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and cover for 10-12 minutes.
The key to easy-to-peel eggs is an immediate ice bath after cooking—this stops the cooking process and helps separate the membrane from the shell.
