You just place an egg in a pot. Put water in it till at least the egg or eggs are entirely covered. Put the pot on the stove. Turn the heat to high. &' once you see the water boil you leave it on a little longer most likely 7 minutes. Adding water if the water becomes lower then the egg structure. Once you believe the egg(s) have been boiling long enough. You take it off the stove and crack and peel.
