I make eggs that way. Those instructions sound mostly right. Did you let them come to a boil? I always put a lid on while they're starting to boil to build up some heat. Then turn off the heat and set the timer for 20 minutes. They've come out perfect every time, you never get a green yolk!\
Oh, and for fresh eggs, make sure you let them cool in ice cold water. I usually drain them right in the pan, shake them around a bit to crack them and then start running cold water in the pan. I'll fill and drain it a couple times until the pan and eggs are cold. Then I'll grab some ice and throw it in to get super cold. Once they're cool, peel them right away. If you wait to peel them later, they are MUCH harder to peel. Also, peeling them while running cool water on them helps get water between that membrane and loosen the shell.

I know you have been strugling with your new cooking skills, but your doing great.
We've all had our flops
It's kind of funny that it took IP to get me to start learning to cook!
