Quickest Way to Boil an Egg (5 Steps)
There are several ways to boil eggs but the quickest is using a saucepan with just enough water to cover the eggs thoroughly. No matter what, boiling eggs will take a while. You have to let eggs sit in hot water to boil them because if you leave the eggs in boiling water with the stove on the eggs will taste a little like sulfur. You can get eggs to boil a little bit faster by salting the water. This will help the water boil faster which cuts down on the overall cooking time.
