A bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalarius) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to seven years (depending on institution and academic discipline).n honours degree generally requires a higher academic standard than a pass degree, and in some universities a fourth year of study. In some countries, e.g., Australia and Canada, the honours degree should not be confused with the postgraduate bachelor's degree with honours or the baccalaureatus cum honore degree.
The time it takes for cold water to boil is approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on altitude, saline content in the water and temperature of the stove. Boiling a smaller pot of eggs takes less time than a larger pot. To hard-boil eggs, the eggs are placed in a pot, covered with cold water and heated until boiling. Then the pot is removed from the heat and covered for 12 minutes. The eggs should be transferred to cold water for two minutes, then peeled.
Hard-Steamed Eggs. Fill a pot that can comfortably hold your steamer with the lid on with 1 to 2 inches of water. Bring to a rolling boil, 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your eggs in a metal steamer, and lower the basket into the pot. The eggs should sit above the boiling water. Cover and cook for 12 minutes. Hard-steamed eggs, like hard-boiled eggs, are eggs that are cooked until the egg yolk is fully set and has turned to a chalky texture.
