How do I perfectly boil an egg?

To boil an egg perfectly: For soft-boiled (runny yolk), bring water to a boil, gently lower the egg, and cook for 6 minutes. For medium (set but creamy yolk), cook for 7-8 minutes. For hard-boiled (fully set yolk), cook for 10-12 minutes. Start with room-temperature eggs to prevent cracking. After cooking, immediately transfer to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes — this stops the cooking and makes peeling easier. Older eggs peel more easily than very fresh ones. Crack and peel under running water for best results.
