How long do you cook 24 hard boiled eggs?

Cooking Time:

* For perfectly hard-boiled eggs (yolk completely solid): 10-12 minutes

* For slightly softer yolks: 8-9 minutes

Method:

1. Start with cold eggs: This ensures even cooking.

2. Place eggs in a large pot: Make sure there's enough space for the eggs to move around.

3. Cover with cold water: Add enough water to cover the eggs by at least an inch.

4. Bring to a boil: Over medium-high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil.

5. Reduce heat and simmer: Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for the desired amount of time.

6. Immediately transfer to an ice bath: Drain the hot water and plunge the eggs into a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.

7. Peel and enjoy!

Tips:

* Add a teaspoon of salt to the water: This helps prevent the eggs from cracking.

* Don't overcrowd the pot: Give the eggs enough space so they cook evenly.

* Don't overcook! Overcooked eggs will have a rubbery yolk.

For 24 eggs:

You'll likely need to do this in two batches to ensure even cooking and prevent overcrowding.
