Yes, this works. Another method I use is when the eggs come to a boil, I remove from heat and cover with a lid and time for exactly 8 minutes. Always perfect.
I heard that if, the night before you want to make them, if you reverse the eggs in the carton the yolk will be perfectly centered! Love that Ina.

This is the best soft hard-boiled egg I have ever cooked and I have tried them all. My eggs couldn't have been anymore beautiful and deliscious!

These turned out perfectly for me. The whites were not rubbery at all, the yolk was moist and a bit soft, excellent for making egg salad. I always seem to make hard boiled eggs that get a green ring or are chalky and nasty. Thanks Ina! This is a keeper.
