How To Boil Eggs

Instructions
Before boiling the egg, pierce the rounded end of the shell, to keep from cracking.
Put the eggs in boiling water.
After 4 minutes, the egg is soft-boiled: the yolk is soft and the white is set.
After 8 minutes, the yolk is soft and bright yellow: that's ideal for any dish with hard boiled eggs.
Do not boil the eggs for more than 8 minutes: the yolk would become too hard and greenish.
To cool the egg, dip it quickly in cold water, so you'll stop the cooking process and it will be much easier to shell.
