🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Place eggs in a pot

   • Arrange eggs in a single layer in a saucepan.

   • Cover with cold water (about 1 inch above eggs).

2. Bring to a boil

   • Heat over medium-high heat until the water reaches a full rolling boil.

3. Turn off the heat

   • Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the eggs sit:

     • 6 min for soft

     • 7–8 min for jammy

     • 9–12 min for hard-boiled

4. Ice bath

   • Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water and let sit for at least 5 minutes.

   • This stops the cooking and makes peeling easier.

5. Peel and enjoy

   • Tap the shell gently on the counter, roll, and peel under running water if needed.

🧂 Tips:

• Older eggs peel easier than fresh ones.

• Add a splash of vinegar or baking soda to the water to help with peeling.

• Store hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for up to 7 days.
