1. 1
   Fill a pot generously with water and bring to a rolling boil.
   ▶ ≈0:15
2. 2
   While the water heats, remove eggs from the refrigerator, rinse them clean with water, and place them in cold water. This removes surface impurities and allows the cold eggs to gradually adapt to temperature changes.
   ▶ ≈0:22
3. 3
   Once water is boiling, carefully lower eggs into the hot water one at a time using a spoon or ladle. Be gentle to prevent eggs from cracking against the pot bottom.

   Cook for your desired doneness: 7–8 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, 10–12 minutes for fully cooked eggs.
   ▶ ≈1:00
5. 5
   Once cooking time is complete, immediately remove eggs and rinse them several times under cold water. Add an ice cube to rapidly cool the eggs and stop the cooking process.
