How long does it tak an egg to boil?

Answer 1

Dont boil it steam it about 15 minutes. Its softer, the shell comes off easier and overall better.

Answer 2

To Correctly Cook Hard-Cooked Eggs:
There are two problems you'll want to avoid: cracked shells and the ugly green layer that can form around the yolk. For perfect cooking, start with eggs that don't have any visible cracks.

Bring your eggs to room temperature before cooking. If the egg has been stored in the refrigerator it can be warmed gently under a flowing hot tap water. By bringing the eggs to room temperature, they're much less likely to crack in the hot water. Also the temperature of the egg at the start of the cooking process will affect the cooking time. An egg that is at room temperature at the start of the cooking process will require about 1 minute less cooking time than eggs taken directly from the refrigerator.

Place them in a single layer in a pan with enough cold water to cover eggs completely (approximately by 1 1/2 inches). Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat, cover tightly with a lid, and allow to remain in the water approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

When done cooking, place under running, cold water to cool quickly. This way of cooking is also known as "coddling." It does not toughen the whites as boiling does. This will also assist with the peeling process, as the cold water creates steam between the egg white and the shell which makes the shell easier to remove

Answer 3

Put the egg in the pot.
Once the boiling begins lower the heat.
Let the egg boil for about 2-3 minutes.
I say 2 and then let it sit for 1 in the hot water.

Good to go!

Answer 4

My grandma taught me the best way to boil an egg that works 100% of the time.

Put COLD water in the pot... not freezing cold but cold from the sink

Add the eggs to the pot and bring to a boil.

As soon as they come to a boil, turn the burner down to low, cover and let simmer 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes take them off and run water over them for a couple minutes and you are good to go.
