How long do you boil eggs to make hard boiled eggs?

The boiling time for hard-boiled eggs depends on the size of the egg:

* Small eggs (under 2 ounces): 8-9 minutes

* Medium eggs (2-2.25 ounces): 9-10 minutes

* Large eggs (2.25-2.5 ounces): 10-12 minutes

* Extra large eggs (2.5-2.75 ounces): 12-13 minutes

* Jumbo eggs (over 2.75 ounces): 13-14 minutes

Here are some tips for perfect hard-boiled eggs:

* Use cold eggs: Start with eggs that are straight from the refrigerator.

* Add eggs to simmering water: Don't drop them into cold water as it could crack the eggs.

* Don't overcrowd the pot: Leave some space between the eggs to ensure even cooking.

* Cool eggs immediately: After boiling, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

* Peel carefully: Peel under cold running water for easier removal of the shell.

Remember that these are just guidelines, and the best way to determine the perfect boiling time is to experiment and find what works best for you.
