After, put the eggs in cold water so they stop cooking.
You mean a separate container (large enough to hold plenty cold water I presume)? How long? How cold? Icy, so it hurts your hand, or just not warm, not even lukewarm?
I struggle to get consistent results with this method, but I don’t always put the eggs in when the water already boils.
I just run the same pot under running cold water and then I leave the eggs in that cold water for a couple of minutes. I guess if you want you can prepare an ice bath, that would be better but I can’t be bothered. I need to have breakfast ready in a few minutes so I don’t care about perfection. Sure, some might break when you lower them into boiling water, and some might not peel as easy. But in general this method gives me easy peeling eggs for the most part.
While I’m cooking the eggs (I use a $10 egg steamer I bought years ago for fully cooked eggs I’ll want to use cold) I’ll throw a random large bowl in the sink. I’ll throw a clean reusable ice pack in the bottom of the bowl and cover it with cold water. When the eggs are done I’ll put them in the cold water for at least 10 minutes, though honestly usually way longer because I’ll be doing other things while making the eggs lol.
If I’m planning on peeling all the eggs right away, I’ll crack the shells lightly before putting in the cold water. This seems to let some water seep under the shell as they cool and helps with peeling as well.
Wow sounds like you also need a good prick up the bottom to release all that air you absolute insufferable gasbag.
My advice came from Kenji López-Alt, specifically from this video:

Now I don’t know where you’re from and what kind of eggs you’re used to, but in Europe we have normal eggs straight from the chicken’s ass and that’s how long they take to boil.
So no response to Kenji’s video huh? What do you have to say to Kenji? Is he wrong? Is he cooking his eggs for too long? Are you a better chef? Sounds to me like you’re just a reactionary internet expert but in reality you can’t even boil an egg.
no, didn’t watch it. He’s obviously wrong if he cooks eggs for that long and expects anything but firm yolk.
Anyone can boil an egg. the very slightly more complex task is boiling a soft egg.

Thanks.
This is clearly the crucial part. I take them out much too soon.

Putting cold water into a hot pot can warp the pot.
Both of you. please buy a cooking book. I’m sure there is something like “Cooking for men living alone for the first time in their lives”.

It’s called a cloaca, you uneducated swine!
(Sorry, couldn’t pass on a good streak of online insult throwing)
lol
You should have added that you live above 4000m where water boils at 86 degrees centigrade.
Then 7 minutes to soft yolk make total sense.
Oxygen starvation might then also explain your very strange insult game.

Hahah don’t watch it it’s not for you, obviously your eggs game is superior
What
not even once and I’ve boiled a lot of eggs of diff. sizes and freshness.
can’t argue this
yep
start from cold, start measuring when it boils
Fuck. Off.
😁
