The first step is to bring your pot of water to a boil. Once your water is at the appropriate temperature, you can drop your egg in to the pot. Make sure if your egg is smaller you only boil it for about 8-10 minutes. If it's a large egg, leave in in the pot for about 10-12 minutes. The next step is to take your egg out of the water and let them sit covered for about 15 minutes. Once cooled you can go ahead and drop your egg into the cup of dye for about 5-10 minutes.[happy] [calm]
