It’s complicated
Yes, but for softer ones just open the top and dip or eat with spoon, as seen here https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-open-a-soft-boiled-egg-167211
How ar big? Post is unclear. Need banana for scale.
I just use my instant pot, and I don’t have to worry about thinking about it after I hit start. They also peel perfectly every time.
But if you’re using water to cook hard boiled eggs, then just get one of these:

This is about cooking eggs at various donenness levels, not just making hard boiled eggs. You would still need to pay attention to the time in an Instant Pot for that.
Right. I’m using the term “hard-boiled” synonymously with just “boiled egg”
It doesn’t work that way, though. And this doesn’t even refer to “a boiled egg”, it refers to boiling eggs.
Barring pedantry, I don’t understand the difference you’re inferring
The wording you have used so far suggests to me that, every time you boil eggs, you hard boil them. Not everybody does that. Some people soft or medium boil their eggs and variations in between.
So boiling eggs is not the same as hard boiling eggs.
That’s why I clarified.
You said you didn’t understand, so I explained. I didn’t realize you were being disingenuous.
The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.
The brain you have that can make up such bullshit is a result of eating animals.
So are you going to kill yourself because your very existence is the result of eons of humans eating animals?
As for fallacies, prove that
animals are morally equivalent to your children
That’s a sophist argumentation tactic known as “begging the question”.
That you have the hubris to call others fallacious is, well, I’d say shocking, but it’s par for the course when someone decides they know better than the rest of us and deign to be condescending (which usually happens after Philosophy 101).
Nature is cruel. Get over yourself.
Appeal to nature fallacy; you’re effectively arguing that it’s okay to eat your children because animals do it. It’s nonsense. It’s the sort of lie we tell ourselves when we are not prepared to process something we don’t want to accept.
Stop grooming yourself to be cruel. Stop participating in needless atrocity against intelligent creatures like you.
Nah, i’ll continue eating things.
Now you’re engaging in denialism. Just don’t think about it, right? This is an admission that you find your actions morally unjustifiable on some level.
You are not responding to the things I say. Rather you are responding to your own unsettled feelings, trying to tell them how you want to feel instead of listening to how you do feel. Saying things just to distract yourself from thoughts you are unwilling to process.
Bacon, steaks, ribs, turkey with beef gravy, etc. I’ll never give these up.
If I could afford and had the time to do everything myself I would but I don’t. Meaning, I have to trust that the animals don’t suffer and its a quick death. Anything else isn’t on me, I pay taxes for a reason, one of them is for laws and policies so I’m doing everything I can while working to provide for my family.
Everything dies, when I’m dead do what you want with my body. I’m an organ donor and don’t care once I’m gone.
Nope. I don’t feel my actions are unjustifiable.
Here’s the justification: animals and their byproducts taste delicious. Get off your high horse, no one likes an internet preacher.
I boil my eggs for 11min and they look like the 13min egg in picture. This looks pretty sus
When I book an egg for 9-10 minutes it looks like the 15 minute egg there
It may be considering timer starting with the egg in cool water and boiling from there.
That’s exactly what I do. Cold water with eggs in
Hmm fair point, I guess it depends on the egg size
Could also be depending altitude / atmospheric pressure
This isn’t a very good guide, since it doesn’t even take egg sizes into account. As a fan of egg, these timings are completely wrong for Large Lion Grade A eggs.
Lions don’t lay eggs.
That blimmin’ witch doctor lied to me again!!!
You’d think I’d learn my lesson after those magic beans…
Also anyone living above sea level would have severely undercooked eggs. I live almost a mile up and pasta takes two minutes longer to cook so i assume eggs do too.
Yes! Very good point. I used to use an app for my location, which would adjust the timing based on my elevation from sea level - even though it’s not much where I am, the adjustments certainly made a difference!
I would link it but it is now riddled with ads, and has a generic name of ‘egg timer’ ._.
Pretty sure most people are above sea level. But I’m no sea doctor.
Most of humanity lives on the coastlines. So technically yes. In any functional manner, no.
These gotta be bigger eggs.
Fair point, I changed the title
20 minute gang rise up.
This doesnt seem kosher to me. 7-10 minutes is like the max
Are you using the word kosher as in its proper meaning, or colloquially? I didn’t find anything on time https://www.kosherinthekitch.com/halachot-in-the-kitch/kosher-eggs/
Colloquially, i just meant the times didnt match up with my own experience
I wonder how much altitude matters when boiling eggs
I can’t speak to specific numbers but it absolutely does. The higher the altitude, the lower the boiling point. The lower boiling point the lower the temperature you’re cooking with and you have to cook it for longer
This guide seems to be a bit off. I prefer 11-min-eggs, for the reason that there is not any liquid yolk present, if boiled that long. In this picture, it would resemble either the 13-min or the 15-min-egg. My egg-boiling altitude is 7 m above sea level for an average sized chicken egg, adding the egg to already boiling water.
Title does say larger size egg.
I usually do 6 and this meme give me anxiety gang rise up.
I feel like trypophobia may be part of the effect?
7 for the best results 😋
i like 5-6 best :3
I think 5 would be the minimum I’d be willing to go to. The others just look too raw to me.
I love a good 15 if I’m out and about.
I do like to offer people an egg in this trying time.
11-12, please. ✋
