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.
Boil the eggs. The method you use to boil your eggs can have a significant impact on how easily you'll be able to peel them. Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.There should be about two inches of water over the top of the eggs. Add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to the water, then bring the pan to a gentle simmer and cook for approximately 12 minutes. Fresh eggs will be harder to peel than slightly older eggs, as the air pocket at the wide end of the egg is smaller in fresh eggs. 2  For this reason, you should avoid boiling freshly laid eggs, whenever possible. 3  Go for 3-5 day old eggs instead.
