To hard-cook duck eggs, place them in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.As soon as the water boils, remove the pot from the heat and let stand 12 minutes for large eggs.(Medium eggs should sit a minute less, jumbos a minute more.) Drain the eggs and shake the pan vigorously to crack the shells; this lets them cool faster and prevents overcooking.o hard-cook duck eggs, place them in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
This is where your timing needs to be precise. If the eggs sit in the hot water too long, they will overcook and end up with a green yolk. Extra large eggs will need 18 minutes to fully cook, large eggs need 15 minutes, and medium eggs need 12 minutes. Set a timer to prevent over or under cooking. For soft-boiled eggs (runny yolks, solid whites), let the eggs sit for 5 minutes less than the time needed to hard...MORE cook the egg.
