Eggs, Part 2 of 6
Great! You’ve mastered a soft-boiled egg. Moving on to its cousin, the hard-boiled egg. Remember, every seasoned chef started off somewhere, and Rivky has an eggsplosive (groan…) kitchen fiasco to prove it.

How does adding salt before cooking the eggs help?
Salty water prevents the egg from cracking. Great Q!
If cooking way more eggs, like a dozen or so, how much time do they need to cook?
Generally increasing the number of eggs will not change the cooking time.Once your water has come to a boil ( this can take about 10 minutes) allow the eggs to boil for about 11-13 minutes. Be sure to plunge your eggs into cold water ( I’ve even seen ice water) to stop the cooking process
