Bring a pot of water deep enough to cover large eggs, cold from the fridge, to a boil.

Gently lower egg(s) into it using a spoon to avoid burns or cracking.

Cook for 10 minutes, or 9 minutes for slightly softer centers.

Plunge them in ice water until fully cold, about 15 minutes. Add more ice if needed to keep the water cold.

Peel the eggs easily, or peel under running water if there's resistance.

Make cooking time adjustments for extra-large or jumbo eggs (more time) or room temperature eggs (less time).
