Captain Phillips fired flares at the pirates and the ship was steered so that it would sway back and forth. However, the pirates eventually still managed to throw up a ladder and board the ship, taking the bridge.
Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Cover with a lid and bring water to a boil over high heat; when the water has reached a boil, set the timer for the desired time. Boil for 6 - 7 minutes for perfect hard boiled eggs. For soft-boiled eggs: 4 minutes. For slightly soft-boiled eggs: 5 minutes.
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.
