• How Long to Cook Hard-Boiled Eggs (Because Timing Is Everything)
  Hard-boiled eggs are a beloved protein-packed snack, the base for deviled eggs, and a versatile addition to countless dishes. But achieving that perfect hard-boiled egg—tender whites with a creamy, fully-cooked yolk—comes down to precise timing. Overcook them, and you risk rubbery whites and crumbly yolks. Under-cook them, and you’re left with runny yolks. Here’s how to get your eggs just right every time.

Egg Size and Cooking Time
Egg size is crucial to determining how long you should cook your eggs. The most common size is large eggs, which typically need 10 to 12 minutes of cooking. Here’s a guide based on egg size:

Medium Eggs: 8 to 10 minutes
Large Eggs: 10 to 12 minutes
Extra-Large Eggs: 12 to 14 minutes
Pro Tip: If you’re using medium or jumbo eggs, adjust the cook time by about 1 minute depending on whether you prefer your yolks slightly jammy or fully cooked.

Factors That Affect Cooking Time
Egg Temperature: The times provided above assume the eggs are cold from the refrigerator. If your eggs are at room temperature, they will cook a little faster.
Number of Eggs: Cooking a large batch in a pot may take a minute or two longer due to the water temperature dropping slightly when the eggs are added.
Water Amount: Always make sure to cover the eggs with about 2 inches of water. Too little water can affect the cooking process.
