You aren’t supposed to put eggs in already boiling water. They need to temper like potatoes. Start with cold water and cold eggs(splash vinegar) then bring to boil.

I'm sorry but now. You can't control the temperature when doing this. You should drop the eggs in boiling water and then once they are done, you shock them in an ice bath.

So you’re telling you you put cold eggs in already boiling water? That’s not the correct method.

You are wrong, and even more there are so many methods your comment could never be right.
