I’m guessing that the way to boil an egg is to put it in boiling water.

Nope.

Put the eggs in COLD water. Make sure they are well covered. Bring water to a hard boil. Turn off heat, cover pot for 10 minutes. Move eggs to a bowl of cold water for a minute. Remove and shell.

Finally. You have posted the way to get eggs that cook perfectly, with no green ring around the yoke.

Once you bring them to hard boil, cover them and sit them in the water for ten minutes. (12 or 13 minutes if they are Big eggs).

Put them in ice cold water when they’re done. Let them sit there. Crack the shell and even roll them on the counter to crack the shell in multiple places. Let them sit there in the water with a cracked shell for ten minutes. You sit them in the water so the water can get between the egg and the membrane.

The shell and the membrane fall right off.
