How Long Does It Take to Hard Boil 4 Eggs
You know what’s hilarious? People stress for 10 minutes about the boil, then ruin it all with bad peeling. Use eggs that are a week old—they peel easier. Fresh eggs? The shell fights you.
I once spent five minutes peeling a single fresh egg. It looked like a crime scene. So buy your eggs on the weekend, boil them next Thursday. That’s the secret.
Timing Chart for the Curious
Want a runny yolk? 6 minutes. Soft-boiled for dipping toast? 7 minutes. Hard but creamy? 9 minutes. Solid, no-nonsense hard-boiled? 11 minutes.
Memorize this. Print it on a sticky note. Stick it on your fridge. You’ll never guess again.
