How long does it take to do hard boiled eggs?

This depends on hard boiled, medium or soft boiled and how many eggs you put into the tray. The more eggs the less water you use. There is a small cup that comes with the egg cooker that has markings to show you how much water to use. I did that a few times and now I just fill the cup to the top and set my personal timer for 14 or 15 minutes depending on the size of the eggs I'm cooking. If you wait for all the water cook out and the timer to go off...it's loud...you get a discoloration in the bottom of the cooker. I use mine almost daily and the advantage is when you cook the eggs with steam the shells peel so easily...you can peel six eggs in a minute. Can't beat it for the price but it does take a little getting use to. Hope this helps!

The eggs take about 10-15 minuets to boil but then you have to wait for them to cool

It varies if you want them soft or hard but really I don't think it took even 10 minutes. You put the amount if water in the pan area that the directions say according to hardness desired and put eggs in after poking them with sharp object on pan. Turn it on, walk out of the room to fo something and the next thing you know.... They are done. Get them out quickly...the water has evaporated and the shells will burn.

I would guess between 7 and 13 minutes...it's really easy when the water is gone the unit turns off automatically and the eggs are done its best to rinse them with ice water as close to when light goes of makes them super easy to peel. I love this gadget we use it often in fact just used it last night.

I have tried to make my eggs sunny side up with my cooker, but yolk becomes hard before white is done. If you like runny yolks, you'll have to cook less than 35 seconds on high, but white will also be runny.

A bit painstaking, but this works for me: cook eggs on hi 1:30 sec., then keep lid closed for 30 sec. (no power) to "steam" eggs. Put in the filling and cook on hi 1 min. uncovered, then close lid (no power) and "steam" for 30 sec. This usually turns the eggs out fine, but if they're still runny cook on hi only 10 sec. at a time till done. Fillings like broccoli may take longer.

I have a 1000W Kenmore with a turntable, and I need 10 minutes for 4 eggs to reach medium boiled or 9 minutes for 2 eggs to reach medium boiled, if I drop them in cold water right away. If I let them sit in the microwave to cool for a while, they reach a perfect hard boiled that is great for making deviled eggs but not at all overcooked. Always easy to peel.

Depends upon the volume of water in the kettle. Normally, it takes just a couple of minutes if you are boiling enough for two mugs of tea or coffee.

Just put it in the water with the eggs while you boiling the eggs, depending how you want your eggs it will tell you when the are ready.

I generally only pre-heat a pan for maybe ten seconds, and I do eggs on medium (5 or 6). for soups, etc, I start at 7 or 8 then reduce to 3 or 4

Sorry I am late answering your question. If you look on one side of the little measuring cup you will see it says "Hard Boiled" and the other side of the measuring cup says "Soft Boiled". YOu can fix one egg of 6. You only have to fill up to the line and it is a perfect egg. Please let me know if you have any more trouble. I love this cooker! I have bought several as gifts.

Mitchell...you can do three poached eggs at a time. You'll love this machine...I use it a couple times a week for poached, soft and hard boiled eggs. You'll play with a time or two and when you get it the way you want it your eggs will be perfect every time.

The instructions state to heat on "each side" for 3 minutes over medium to medium-high heat and to cook for 2-3 minutes. I lifted the lid and gently pressed the waffle the first time to be sure it was set and firm. I also found that once they waffles started to lightly brown they were done.

I have never achieved soft, runny yolks with set whites. I have gotten soft set yolks with set whites by cooking at 80% power for 55 seconds. For sandwich eggs I use 80% for 1:15

cook egg on high 3 minutes..2 minutes in check whites..I punch around yolk with a knife..very careful and continue to cook.I notice if the egg is extra large, I have to do this.

We've made an egg "basket" using already cooked chopped potatoes, sauted onions & peppers, browned bacon. The cups were puff pastry. The first attempt was too done. It doesn't take 5 minutes if everything except the egg and puff pastry are cooked. Don't overfill either.

if it's hard boiled egg it takes about 6 mins and I just put mine in cold water with ice for a couple mins just to cool them off a little to make it easier to peel but you don't have to run cold water over them or let them sit if you don't want too. It's a GREAT egg cooker. I've used it to poach eggs and hard boil eggs and every time they have come out perfect. The only problem is the "alarm" isn't that loud.

The majority of recipes call for 15psi for the stove top. Cooking eggs to make hard boiled is best done at 8psi (lower setting). I think the maximum pressure for electric pressure cookers is about 12psi, so many of the traditional recipes for pressure cookers need to be adjusted up a few more minutes of cooking. Most recipes will help you on these cooking pressures and times.
