Boiled Eggs

[AlpineTrout]

Quote from BSAM:


However, for those like me, I don't want to boil just one egg at a time. I like to boil at least 6 at a time. So, that would be "cool" for the first one, but I wouldn't want to peel the rest until they were to be eaten. So, those would go into the refrigerator for later. Thus, the other five, I guess I would just have to deal with!?! Some things in life are just tough, huh?? ;-)

I don't want to sound like Professor EggHead here, but if you're going to cook 6 or more eggs at the same time, they're probably going to bunch together in the pot, thus changing the convective properties of the water flow around the eggs from Laminar to Turbulent. We're talking Heat Transfer here. This could very well change the optimum cooking time from 12 min. to something higher.
