Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that! Here are the steps for boiling an egg:

Step 1: Place the egg in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the egg completely.

Step 2: Place the pot on the stovetop and turn the heat to high.

Step 3: Bring the water to a rolling boil. You'll know the water has reached a boil when you see bubbles rising to the surface.

Step 4: Once the water has reached a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 5: Let the egg cook for the desired amount of time. The length of time will depend on the desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines:
	* 3-4 minutes for a soft-boiled egg, with a runny yolk and a set white.
	* 5-6 minutes for a medium-boiled egg, with a slightly firmer yolk and a fully set white.
	* 8-9 minutes for a hard-boiled egg, with a fully set yolk and white.

Step 6: Remove the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and place it in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Step 7: Once the egg has cooled, crack it gently and peel off the shell.

Step 8: Serve the egg as desired.

It's important to note that the fresher the egg, the easier it will be to peel. Also, the longer you cook the egg, the harder it will be to peel.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like any additional information.

Here are the steps for boiling an egg:

1. Place the egg in a pot: Select a pot that is not too large for the egg, fill it with water and put it on the stove.

2. Turn on the heat: Turn on the heat to a medium-high temperature.

3. Wait for the water to boil: Allow the water to boil, it should take a few minutes.

4. Notice the boil: Pay attention to the water when it starts boiling vigorously.

5. Control the heat: Once the boiling point is reached, you can drastically reduce the heat to medium or even low to maintain a consistent boil.

6. Cook the egg: Once you notice the water is boiling, carefully add the egg(s) to the pot. To achieve the perfect yolk-white ratio, boil for 3-5 minutes for small eggs and 5-7 for large eggs.

7. Remove the egg: Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the egg from the water to avoid cracking it.

8. Rinse and let cool: Under cold running water, rinse the egg to stop the cooking process. Let it cool down to a comfortable temperature for handling.

9. Peel the egg: Gently peel the egg by tapping the egg on a flat surface when it is cool enough to handle. You can also poke a small hole in the yolk to make it easier to peel the egg, but it's not necessary always.

10. Serve: The boiled egg can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later use. It might be directly added to salads, used as a standalone snack, or used in various recipes.

Please note that the exact time of boiling will vary depending on the desired level of hardness of the yolk and the thickness of the white. Due to its simple composition, hard-boiling isn't needed for consumption, but it does preserve the egg longer. To hard boil an egg, proceed the same steps up to point 6, but then let it boil for 10-12 minutes, let it cool, then store it in the refrigerator.
