I have my own method that works for me. I make 4 X-large eggs at a time,
pretty much out of the fridge.

Small pot holds 4 eggs nicely.  Fill enough to cover eggs when inserted.
Bring to a rolling boil, insert the four eggs.
Boil six minutes, remove from heat
Take two eggs, run under water so you can handle them  Crack shell with
a knife, split open and you have nice soft boiled eggs.

Leave the other two sit in the pot.  The next day you have nice hard
boiled eggs.

Try it one time, adjust in 30 second increments if you want them a bit
different.

my method is i never make hard boiled eggs and they always come
out perfect. my wife always makes them and she uses a color changing
egg timer. peels them while still warm. i, on the other hand, always
make the fried, scrambled, and omelets.

I have one of those cute color changing thingies. These days, I'll boil
eggs using my phone as a timer and an ice bath. It's hardly as cute/fun
though.
