How Do You Boil Eggs Properly?
To boil eggs properly, bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the eggs in the water using a slotted spoon. Let them boil for 8-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs, or 4-6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Remove the eggs from the pot and cool them in cold water or an ice bath for easy peeling.
