If you put them all in the same pot then as long as you would boil a single egg, about 3 minutes for soft boiled or 5-6 minutes for hard boiled.
It's actually 10 mins if u want a dozen eggs hard boiled WELL, and 7 mins if u want them slightly soft/runny.
Well, if it took three minutes to boil one egg (hypothetically) then it would take 36 minutes to do all 12 if you did them 1 at a time (12 times 3). Take how many you are putting in against the time it would normally take- it depends how you're doing it!
You should place your eggs in a pot large enough to hold the eggs and allow for 1 inch of water over the top of them. Also allow another inch of space for the boil. Using cold water cover the eggs and add a dash of salt, place the pot on a eye of the stove that matches the size of pot you have selected and set to high. Bring the pot to a rapid boil, let boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water and store in shells in frig... for up to a week. I find shelling the eggs is easier when they are just warm. This recipe works for 2-12 eggs. if your yolk have a green ring around them you have cooked them too long. More info than you needed.
If you can fit them all in the same pot. It can take as little as 20 minutes. Or 10 minutes for "3 minute" eggs (soft boiled)*. It does not take any longer to boil a large quantity of eggs as a small quantity, because each egg is completely surrounded with boiling water in either case.
*3 minute eggs are boiled for 3 minutes but it takes about 7 minutes or so to get the water boiling. Hard boiled eggs are boiled for about 10-12 minutes.
For hard boiled eggs, it is best to put the eggs in cold water first, then bring it all to a boil. For 3 minute eggs boiling the water first is more typical.
Bring them to boil then turn the heat off. Let sit 25 minutes. They will be done.
hard boiled- 10 min soft boiled- 3 min this is once the water is boiling and the eggs have been placed in the pot
How long to boil 24 eggs??
how the hell am i supposed to know?
about 45 to 60 minutes..
7 minutes
for hard boiled eggs, boil each egg 8 minutes
It takes about 5 minutes ... LOL
If you put then all into the same pan and boil them at the same time, then the answer is the same time as it takes to boil one egg. A hens egg for example would take 3 minutes to soft boil and 8 minutes to hard boil.
No, they will just get really hard, and taste terrible.
It depends upon the size of the pan you are using, and also whether you want them soft or hard boiled. A large saucepan should be able to accomodate 6 eggs- assuming you want them hard-boiled, this will take about 8 minutes from first putting them in the boiling water. There are eight lots of 6 in four dozen, so to find the time it takes to boil four dozen, multiply 8 minutes by eight, which makes 64 minutes - or 1 hr and 4 minutes.
To hard boil 15 medium size hens eggs will take 10 minutes if you put them all in the same pan and boil them at the same time.

You can put them right into the fridge. It'll make the refrigerator work a little harder to cool them off, but there's no food-related reason not to. This assumes you're leaving them in the shell. If you're peeling first, it always helps to put them in cold water first anyway.
I always boil eggs for at least 20 minutes just to be safe.
The best way I have found to cook hard-boiled eggs is to put your eggs in a pot with enough cold water to about 1" above them, turn on high, wait for it to boil, boil two minutes, take the pot off the heat, put a lid on the pot and let sit for 20 minutes, rinse with cold water. They usually turn out perfect.
10 minutes If you put them all in the same pan and boil them at the same time then the same time it would take to boil one egg, so the answer is 3 to 4 minutes for soft boiled eggs, 6 to 7 minutes for hard boiled eggs. Refresh the hard boiled eggs in cold water after cooking to stop a black ring forming around the yolk.
