Gently put the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by at least one inch. Bring the water to a boil. Once at a boil, turn off the heat and remove from the burner. Cover the saucepan and allow it to sit, undisturbed for six minutes for soft-boiled eggs and up to ten minutes for hard-boiled.
Remove the eggs from the saucepan and transfer into a bowl of very cold water.
Peel and eat or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
