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.
Bring the water to a rolling boil then immediately reduce the stove to medium heat for a low boil. This is similar to a simmer but the water is still boiling slightly---it just won't boil over like a rolling boil will. Step 5. Cook the eggs for 10 to 12 minutes for a hard-boiled egg.For soft-boiled eggs, cook for 8 to 9 minutes. Step 6. Remove the eggs and place them in ice water as soon as the time is up. Leave them in ice water for at least 3 to 4 minutes.Step 7. Crack the egg shells on all sides by rolling them in your hand after they have cooled down. Remove the shell pieces by picking them off and throwing them away.tep 6. Remove the eggs and place them in ice water as soon as the time is up. Leave them in ice water for at least 3 to 4 minutes.
