Apparently, (as embarrassing as this sounds) i can cook but I can't boil an egg. So this is a note for myself.
Step 1: Boil water
Step 2: Put the egg in the boiling water
Step 3: Boil for 12 minutes.
Step 4: Soak in cold water.
Step 5: Peel. If it's hard to peel, break the shell on all parts of the egg and let it sit on the water (warm water so it would still be nice and warm when you start eating it). Water would sip into the cracks and would make it easier to peel the egg
Note: the 12 minutes would have a slighly wet egg yolk. Not dripping wet but just slightly moist, which I like. If you want the yolk to be dry, like if you're using it for a salad, boil it for additional 2-3 minutes.
Alternative route:
1. Don’t wait til the water boils and just put the egg in.
2. Set your timer to 16 minutes.
Note: both steps are for making 2 boiled eggs at a time.
