The time you boil eggs depends on how you want them cooked: soft, medium, or hard. Here's a guide:
After bringing the water to a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for the following times:
- Soft Boiled: 3 minutes
- Medium Boiled: 6 minutes
- Hard Boiled: 12 minutes
This method provides consistent results for perfectly cooked eggs every time.
