How to boil eggs correctly?

Answer

Soft-boiled (liquid yolk): 6 minutes from boiling. In a pouch (creamy yolk): 7-8 minutes. Hard-boiled: 10-12 minutes. Use eggs at room temperature, place in boiling water. Immediately transfer to cold water (easier to peel). Fresh eggs peel worse. For an perfectly round yolk: flip in the first minutes.
