Steps:

• Immediately remove pan from heat to stop boiling. With lid on saucepan, let eggs stand in water for 3 to 4 minutes (large eggs).

• Place eggs in eggcups. Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and eat with small spoon.

THE PERFECT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a large pot with a lid. Pour cool water over the eggs until fully submerged and add the baking soda to the water. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for the following times according to the desired doneness: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 12 minutes for HARD boiled.
• Prepare a bowl of ice water. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice water to cool completely before peeling.

SOFT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Make sure your eggs aren't fridge cold. By having the eggs at room temperature, it will be less of a shock for the egg reaching the hot water and therefore less likely to crack. You can also use an egg pricker to make a very small hole in each egg before boiling, which will also reduce the chances of it cracking in the heat. Slowly lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
• Set your timer for 4-5 mins for runny/dippy eggs to serve with soldiers, or 6-7 mins for soft-boiled eggs for a salad. If serving in a salad, plunge the eggs into a bowl of cold water as soon as the timer goes off - this will stop them cooking and cool the shells quickly for peeling.

PERFECT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Find a lidded saucepan large enough to allow your eggs to comfortably fit on the bottom in a single layer. Add 1 inch of water, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Gently lower eggs into the saucepan using a slotted spoon or a steamer basket. (It's O.K. if the eggs are partly submerged on the bottom of the pot, or elevated on a steamer rack and not submerged at all.) Cover pan and cook eggs, adjusting the burner to maintain a vigorous boil, 6 minutes for a warm liquid yolk and firm whites, 8 1/2 minutes for a translucent, fudgy yolk, or 11 minutes for a yolk that is just barely firm all the way through.
• Drain eggs, then peel and eat immediately, or transfer them to a plate and allow them to cool naturally before storing in the refrigerator for up to a week directly in their shell. (A small dot made with a permanent marker on the top of each cooked egg will ensure you don't mix them up with the raw eggs.) Do not shock them in an ice bath after cooking; this makes them more difficult to peel.
