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.
To boil an egg, place cold eggs in a cold pan and add enough water to cover eggs by about an inch and still have at least an inch at the top of the pan. Bring to a boil. For soft boiled eggs, turn off and cover right after it comes to a boil. Take off heat and let sit for about 5 minutes before draining them and adding cold water to stop the cooking. To hard cook eggs, after it comes to a full boil, let it cook for 10 minutes, then turn off heat and cover for 10 minutes. Drain and then flood with cold water to stop cooking.
