I finally got perfect eggs the other day.  Eggs in cold water, bring to a boil.  Once boiling, turn off the burner and let sit covered for 10 min.  Put eggs in ice water for 5 min.  Back into pot, boil, then let sit for 5 min.  Back in ice water.

Seriously, they came out perfect.  I was so proud

Put in cold water.  Bring to a boil.  Once it is boiling, turn the heat off, put a lid on the pan and let it sit on the same burner for 15 minutes.  Run under cold water for a few minutes.  They should come out just right.

Put in pan, bring to a boil. Once boiling turn off heat, cover pan and let sit 10-15 minutes (10 if you like a softer yolk, a little longer if you want a firmer yolk) then run under cold water and/or plunge into ice water.
