Never fail bioled eggs. cover eggs in cold water and put on stove at high temp...as SOON as they start to boil, remove from heat and cover with a good fitting lid. Set your kitchen timer for 20 minutes. after 20 mins, remove lid and let cold water runj on them for an additional 20 minutes. Eggs will be perfectly hard boiled, and easy to peel.

It takes 5 minutes to boil, when you put the egg in boiled water.

Put your eggs in the pot, cover with water (just plain out of the faucet temp is fine) bring to a boil, take off the heat, then cover for 10-15 minutes. When your time is up, dump the hot water, and run cold water over the eggs, peel and enjoy.

Start by putting the egg in tap water for 5 minutes so the egg can get to water temp, bring to boil, 5 min, heat off, stand 5 min, peel under cold running water

4 minutes for soft boiled, 8 minutes for hard boiled.
Begin by placing in the egg in a pan of cold water. You start timing from when the water begins to boil. You don't want to drop a cold egg into boiling water. Cold wants to contract, hot wants to expand, the shell will crack and the contents will leak out into the water.

Depends on the elevation you are at. At sea level, 10 minutes, at 6,000' at least 13 minutes.
