Eggs should be fully cooked within 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you like to cook them. 7 minutes will result in the eggs being fully cooked but not overcooked. After boiling for 4-5 minutes, leave the raw eggs in the water. For the second method, bring the water to a boil and cook the eggs for 5 minutes.
Saucepan
Simply put the eggs in a saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook over low/medium heat for about 4 minutes and let cool slightly. Place the eggs in boiling water and cook the eggs uncovered over low heat for 12 minutes. When the water begins to slowly boil again after adding the eggs ... let them boil and boil the eggs for up to 12 minutes ... after 12 minutes ... then place them in a pot of water with ice. Carefully place the eggs in the water and turn up the heat until the water comes to a slow boil again.
Cover the pot
Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil over high heat; when the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and set the timer to the desired time. Once it boils, lower the heat to maintain a medium simmer, then set the timer for the desired cooking (see table below). Heat over high heat until the water boils, cover the pot with a lid, simmer for 30 seconds, then remove from heat completely and let steep for 12 minutes. After simmering for 30 seconds, I take the pot off the heat and set the timer for 10-12 minutes (depending on how big my eggs are).
Do not jump !
If the water is still boiling, reduce the heat to low so the eggs don't jump into the pot. There is no limit to the number of eggs you can boil at one time, as long as each egg is completely submerged in water during cooking. You have complete control over the cooking time and there is less risk of eggs cracking in the pan because they don't float freely in the water.
Cool them
When boiling eggs, immediately cool whole eggs under cold running water or place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process as soon as they are done. After the time has elapsed, drain the eggs and transfer them to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Have a bowl of ice water ready so you can flip the eggs once the timer is up. When the timer goes off, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs from the water to a large bowl filled with ice water.
Ice water
After boiling and cooling the eggs in ice water, roll them on the table to remove the shell.
Immediately remove the hard-boiled eggs with a slotted spoon from a sufficient amount of water and place them in a bowl of ice water. Once the water boils, set the timer and follow this time chart for hard-boiled or hard-boiled eggs. Once the water boils, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.
Steamer basket
Carefully place whole eggs in the steamer basket, cover and steam for 5-6 minutes, one half-boiled egg, one hard-boiled egg about 12 minutes. Put eggs directly from the refrigerator into already boiling water, or put them in a steamer, put them in a covered pot, and steam them all the way on the stovetop. Place cold large eggs directly from the refrigerator into a single-layer pan. Place a layer of raw eggs on the bottom of a medium or large pan.
If the shells don't easily separate from the hard-boiled eggs, put them back in the ice water and try again after 5 minutes. Place eggs in an ice bath for at least 14 minutes before peeling them. If you find some eggs are not peeling well, break them all up without peeling them, and soak them for a while under running water or in a bowl of ice water. If you're boiling, you can soak the eggs in boiling water and let them cook for about 30 seconds, just to set the outside of the egg whites, then lower the heat so they're at about 180-190°F or 82-88°C (very low cooking temperature).
Though
If the eggs are a bit tough, I would leave them in the hot water a little longer. Place eggs in hot water for 4-12 minutes, depending on how firm or sifted the yolks are. If you like the center a little softer (I actually prefer mine to be firmer), remove the eggs from the water after 8-10 minutes.
Yellow Eggs
We want our yolks to turn yellow like the sun, so place raw eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking process as soon as they come out of the pan. If you live at a higher altitude, the eggs may take a little longer to cook than we mentioned above (I would start with three to four minutes).
