If it takes one egg 15 minutes to hard-boil, how long does it take for four?

Question

I must know.

Answer 1

It still takes 15 minutes...I make them all the time, I've been craving them lately. :) (20 weeks pregnant...)

Answer 2

Still 15 minutes. I used to boil 30 eggs at a time at work to make hard-boiled eggs. Always 15 minutes.

Answer 3

Are you talking from start to finish time? After the water boils, it takes 5 more minutes for 4 eggs to hard-boil if they are on the bottom of the pan, not stacked in.

Answer 4

I Based on "Large sized" eggs:

Poached - 4 mins
Soft boiled - 6 mins
Hard boiled - 12 mins

NOTE: Put salt in water to help keep egg from cracking.

Immediately empty hot boiling water from cooking pot, and add cold cold water.....let eggs sit for a bit....then empty and repeat w/cold water. NOTE: This will help with the shell coming off very easy!!! I do this all the time as we LOVE hard boiled eggs and egg salad!! It's a biggie in our home. Enjoy and remember those two things................

Salt in water and put eggs in COLD water after boiled so shell will come off easily!!

Answer 5

the same amount of time you would be boiling them together in one pot so 15 minutes but I think thats to long 10 minutes should do
