how long to boil 6 eggs

To boil 6 eggs, you should bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and then carefully add the eggs using a spoon or tongs. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer and let the eggs cook for around 9-12 minutes, depending on how well done you want them.

Here's a general guideline for cooking times:

• Soft boiled: 6 minutes

• Medium boiled: 8 minutes

• Hard boiled: 10-12 minutes

After the cooking time is up, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down and stop the cooking process. This will also make them easier to peel. Once they are completely cool, you can peel and enjoy your perfectly boiled eggs!
