  Place eggs in a saucepan and fill it with cold water. Set over high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil. The water should come to a full, rolling boil.Turn off the heat and cover the pan. If you have an electric stove top, take the pan off the burner entirely. Don't forget to cover the pan. Set your timer for the desired time. Leave the eggs in the covered pan for the right amount of time. How long? Depends on whether you want soft-boiled or hard-boiled.
