For the purposes of this simulation, a pure-metal planet has a density of 8 grams per cubic centimeter (the density of iron) and a pure-rock planet has a density of 3 grams per cubic centimeter (an average value for silicate rock). Questions to Consider:
Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly in 10-12 minutes. That said, depending on your altitude, the shape of the pan, the size of the eggs, the ratio of water to eggs, it can take a few minutes more.. Turn off the heat, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. If you have the type of stove burner that doesn't retain any heat when turned off, you might want to lower the temp to low, simmer for a minute, and then turn it off.
Many of us are used to cooking potatoes with a cold start so they cook evenly, but Iâve found that this doesnât apply to hard-boiled eggs. A hot start gives you an easier peel, and the eggs will still cook beautifully and evenly. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, then gently lower the eggs into the water. I use a wire basket for this. Now that the eggs are in, lower the heat so that the water is at a gentle simmer. You donât want a full rolling boil, just a gentle amount of bubbles. Cook for 13 minutes.
