Most people over cook their hard boiled eggs. Hydrogen sulphide generated by the decomposition of sulphur-containing amino acids in the white will react with iron in the yolk causing a (harmless) grey-green film of ferrous sulphide to form on the surface of the yolk.

Put 2 week old eggs (fresh eggs are hard to peel, and by the time eggs reach the store they are about a week old) in saucepan covered by a inch of water.

Bring to a rolling boil on high.

Immediatly reduce heat to medium and leave for 10 minutes.

Put eggs into ice water for a few minutes.

Peel.

How long do you cook 24 hard boiled eggs?

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.
