With this method, you boil the eggs for half the time and rest them in the hot water off of the heat for the remaining time.
For the third method, bring the water to a full boil. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Leave the pot on the hot burner, allowing the eggs to cook. This method works well if you have an electric stovetop.
With the fourth method, you’ll bring the water to a full boil. Then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Place the pot on a trivet and allow the hot water to cook the eggs.
