Severe pain that comes in waves may be caused by kidney stones. Trauma to the body wall, hernias, and shingles can also cause lower abdominal pain. A hernia is a weakening of muscle or tissue that allows organs or other tissues to protrude through it.
Boiling an egg takes a while. Once the water starts to boil and the eggs are inside the boiling water, let the eggs boil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Careful, if they boil for too long, they might crack. Alternatively, bring the eggs and water to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 25 minutes.
Step 1: The Boiling Stage. Put up a pot of water to boil â you'll need one big enough for water to flow freely around the number of eggs you'll be cooking. Once the water's boiling, use a large spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and set a timer for 12 minutes. Now, don't stress...if you let the water boil a little too much or drop below a simmer or fish out your eggs 14 minutes later, it's okay. More From How to Cook.
