Step 1

Place eggs in a large pot in a single layer.

Step 2

Fill the pot with enough water to submerge the eggs by an inch.

Step 3

Stir in 2 tablespoons of vinegar and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil.

Step 4

Use a skimmer, strainer, or slotted spoon and lower your eggs into the pot.

Step 5

Time the eggs according to your desired doneness. Soft-boiled eggs will need between 6-7 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. The water and ice should be able to submerge the eggs completely.

Step 7

Once the time is up, remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them into the ice bath. Let them in the bath for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Drain the water and place the eggs in a pot or bowl. Shake the container aggressively to crack the eggs.

Step 9

Peel the eggs under running water.

Step 10

Enjoy!
