Start them out in cold water. gradually increase the heat until just boiling really like a simmer. Once they start to boil cut off the heat, cover and they will not crack. If they are allowed to be at room temperature before boiling they will not likely crack.

∙ 16y agoI presume your asking how to boil hens eggs without cracking, make a small pin hole at the round end of the egg (not the pointed end) there is an air pocket behind the shell, the hole will help equalise the pressure inside the egg and should prevent it from cracking. Be gentle with the egg this will also help. good luck.

∙ 14y agoUsually eggs crack because of the change in temperature.
First you can leave the egg out for about 20 minutes to get room temperature then add cold water to a pot with the eggs and let it boil from there.

∙ 10y agoA hard boiled egg will crack. They don't crack as easily because the egg inside is cooked and lends a more solid backing to the shell.

How long does it take to boil hard boil eggs?
About 25-30 minutes total. Starting with a pot of cold water, poke a pinhole in the large end (air pocket) of each egg. (this allows for expansion of the egg without cracking the shell). Place the eggs in the pot, cover it and bring it to a boil. Boil the eggs 3 minutes for soft boiled eggs or 10 minutes for hard boiled. Drain the eggs and immediately cover them with cold running water until they are completely cooled, about 5-10 minutes, if they are to be served cold. If they are to be served hot keep them covered in the hot water. **Note: exposure of the hot eggs to the air will cause the yolks to begin oxidizing (greenish coating around the yolk).

How long does it take to let cool after cooking hard boiled eggs to food coler them?
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.
How do you make boiled eggs?
This depends on how 'hard' you want the eggs to be. Some people put the eggs into a pan of boiling water (so that the eggs are covered) and keep the water boiling for 3 or 4 minutes. Others prefer to put the eggs into cold water (again, so that they are covered) and bring the water to the boil, and keep it boiling for 1 or 2 minutes. (I prefer to put them into boiling water) If you want to ensure that the shells don't crack during the process, you can push a sharp pin into the round end of the egg. There's a little air-pocket in there which can expand when the egg gets hot, cracking the shell. You don't need to push in too far, but do it gently. When the time is up you can either eat the eggs hot, or - if you want them cold for salads - you should plunge them into cold water, or into ice. This stops the yolk of the egg developing a black edge to it.

How long do hard boiled eggs stay without their shell?
Have ready a bowl of iced water and place the whole eggs into it as you shell them. This will keep them from drying out. They should then be kept in the refrigerator and used the same day, or the next; place them on a paper towel to drain before cutting them. Sometimes hardboiled eggs cook with the yolk very close to and almost breaking the surface of the white. This can be avoided by stirring the eggs as they come to the boil, but if any have cooked this way, don't keep them in water. Use immediately.
