How do you boil eggs?

Debbie, you can't be serious!!

Ok, boil enough water to cover the eggs. When it boils, put them in, I usually prick a hole in them to avoid them cracking (I'm talking about 1-2 eggs here). If you want them "softboiled" white solid but yolk soft, leave them in for 5-6 min. then put cold water on for ten seconds to stop the heating process. If you want them hard boiled, but still with a kind a softy yolk, leave them in for 8-9 min.
