    I used to do a 12 minute egg with an immediate ice bath. Works well. Egg peels easily. Yolk isn’t overcooked.

    Recently switched to the 10-5-5 method. 10 minutes of cook, 5 minutes in the pan but removed from heat, 5 minutes in an ice bath. I’d argue the results are slightly better.

    Always soak your eggs before boiling. This forces any air to escape which reduces the likelihood of your eggs cracking once in the hot water.
