I don't believe it should be boiling at all especially for soft cooked eggs. Also a method I've found that is great is air fryer. You can set the exact temperature and time and get exactly the same result every time, even if it's "boiled" in air. 250 F for 8 or 9 minutes (or however it works for your air fryer and how you like it. I do use an ice bath, just not very long, as long as it takes to crack them open onto the shredded buttered toast I put them on.For Nick and the other nigger-cattle if you can’t do this you should just end it. You only have to get water to a boil, take off the heat, cover, and neglect the egg. I don’t even use ice cubes, I just run them under cold water for few seconds, leaving a little bit of water, cover and shake the pot until they peel themselves.
I suppose the rolling boil method isn't terrible for hard boiled, although it makes it harder to peel unless you use something like baking soda in the water to counteract it, and also I think it makes the yolk turn a nasty color and taste more sulfurous.
