How long do you boil hard boiled eggs?

Answer 1

If the eggs are straight from the refrigerator. 12-15 minutes, depending on your taste preferences. Put the eggs in your pan, add water until the eggs are covered. Bring to a boil and then start counting the minutes. I also like to throw a little kosher salt into the water.

Don't forget to place them in cold water right away to stop the cooking process.

Answer 2

Between 12 and 20 minutes, depending upon the coolness of the eggs and when they are introduced to the water (before boiling point or at boiling point).

Answer 3

you start the clock when the water comes to a full boil. 10 minutes for a hard boiled egg.

Answer 4

Usually it only takes 20-30 minutes. Add salt to your boiling water. I find that this helps in peeling the egg shell better. And be sure to put your eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Answer 5

For no 'green' around the yolk when making hard boild eggs... put them in a cold pan and cover with cold water. When they come to a boil time for three minutes. Remove from heat and place a cover over them for 15 minutes. Pour off hot water and douse in ice and cold water. Let sit for 15 minutes and peel.
Perfect eggs everytime!

Answer 6

Start with eggs in cool water(hot water will crack them)and boil at least 10 minutes, longer if you have them doubled on top of each other.
I always put a "test egg" in to make sure they get done enough.

Answer 7

put eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring the pot to a boil.When the water starts to boil, take it off the unit, put a lid on the pot and let the eggs sit for 20 minutes. Works flawlessly!
