Fill the pan with water and place on the stove over high heat.

Heat down and using a slotted spoon, lower the eggs carefully into the water and immediately turn the heat up to stain a rolling boil again. Start a kitchen timer immediately.

For soft-boiled eggs, remove the eggs at 6 minutes. For fully hard boiled eggs, take them out at 10 minutes.

Prepare your ice bath filling a large bowl with water and ice cubes.

Allow the eggs to cool completely before peeling.
