Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly in 10-12 minutes. That said, depending on your altitude, the shape of the pan, the size of the eggs, the ratio of water to eggs, it can take a few minutes more.
If you the inside of your egg, runny, set your water to boiling, and boil for 5 minutes. If you want the inside of your egg, to be set somewhat, but somewhat runny, boil for 6â8 minutes. I suggest boiling this long if it is your first time. If you want egg yolk to be set, then try cooking for 10â15 minutes.
