Boiling eggs

I just can't do it. I try for soft and they come out hard. This time I tried for hard and they're runny. Arghh []

Here's what I do... For soft boiled ~ Run hot water over your eggs and let them sit in it while your water on the stove comes to a boil. Spoon the eggs into the water and when it starts boiling set the timer for 3 min. When done run cold water over them to stop them cooking and also to cool them enough to handle. You will get it figured out. Large eggs take a bit longer. For hard boiled ~ Use older eggs and let them set at room temperature for a day or 2. Put them in tepid water and bring to a boil. I boil them about 15 min. Then dump off the hot water and run cold water over them. I LOVE EGGS!!!
