For soft-boiled eggs: Cook for about 4-6 minutes.
For medium-boiled eggs: Cook for about 6-9 minutes.
For hard-boiled eggs: Cook for about 10-12 minutes.
Adjust the time slightly depending on the size of the eggs and your altitude, which can affect cooking.
Cooling the Eggs:
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them with a slotted spoon and immediately place them into a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
