First, boils water
Second, when the water has boiled ,put
eggs into the boil water.
Then, waiting for 10 mins.
Finally, ready to serve. Have it with pepper and
soy sauce.

Sorry to disagree. You have to put the egg and the water to boil at the same time. Otherwise, the egg can break.

About 8-10 minutes before the water begins to boil.

1. Listen to Dixie's advice.
2. The best is to wait until it's easter. Then you don't have to cook it.

there is a final stage don't forget: after the egg is well boiled, take it from the boiling water and then put it into the cold water at once, it helps shell it, trust me!

I know other way to boil egg. It's very delicious and simple. After hard boil put egg in cold water. wait few minut and shell it, and put it again in the water with soya sauce. Boil it 6-8 minut.

note:
if you are using a lid when boiling... uncover your pot as soon as it starts to boil so that egg won't break.
