Boiling an egg is a simple process that requires only a few steps. Here's how to do it:
Place your eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about an inch.
Place the saucepan on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for the desired time. For a soft-boiled egg, cook for 4-6 minutes; for a medium-boiled egg, cook for 8-10 minutes; for a hard-boiled egg, cook for 12-14 minutes.
When the eggs are done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
Once the eggs have cooled down, crack them gently against a hard surface and peel off the shell. Enjoy your boiled eggs as a snack, in a salad, or as a part of any dish that calls for boiled eggs.
Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the eggs and the altitude of your location.
