put room temperature eggs into boiling water and boil for exactly 3 mins... soft boiled eggs every time.
hard boiled take about 10 minutes. then cool them very quickly under cold running water and crack the shell to stop the yolk going grey.

If I take an egg out of the fridge, I run the hot tap over it gradually so it does not crack - bring up to the boil and 3 minutes simmering for soft yolk/firm white. Hard boiled - same for about 8 minutes.Plunge in cold water. If you want to peel the egs - fresh are no good - use older ones. Tip -if you ever get it wrong cling film and drop back in!
I find 3:45 in boiling water from the fridge gives a runny yolk.
Soft-boiled eggs that can be cut up and put into salads (as opposed to dipping soldiers into) are simple - put in a pan of cold water and put heat on and return in 10mins. perfect
