Boiled eggs are actually pretty easy as long as you know what you want. There's a lot of kitchen mythology out there, especially the one that states "Start eggs in cold water..." I'm not sure what that's supposed to achieve but it doesn't achieve anything except making life difficult.
The method you described sounds far more complicated than simply starting eggs in cold water, then taking them off the heat for 10 minutes after they come to a boil.
That's because I'm detail oriented and an overcommunicator.
The gist of my method is: "Boil water. Add eggs. Cook 10 min. Cool under water".
Starting eggs in cold water, bringing to a boil, and then cooking 10 minutes from that point sounds like overcooked eggs
