Yes, you can cook more than one egg at a time in boiling water. Boiling eggs is a common and straightforward cooking method. To cook multiple eggs simultaneously, follow these steps:
Choose a pot: Select a pot or saucepan large enough to accommodate all the eggs you want to cook in a single layer. You don't want the eggs to be stacked on top of each other.
Add water: Fill the pot with enough water to cover the eggs completely when they are placed inside.
Heat the water: Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Add the eggs: Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon or tongs. Make sure to place them in a single layer at the bottom of the pot.
Set the timer: Depending on how you like your eggs (soft-boiled or hard-boiled), you can adjust the cooking time. For example, for soft-boiled eggs, boil them for about 4-5 minutes, and for hard-boiled eggs, cook them for about 9-12 minutes.
Remove the eggs: Once the desired cooking time is reached, turn off the heat and carefully remove the eggs from the boiling water using a spoon or tongs.
Cool the eggs: Transfer the boiled eggs to a bowl of cold water or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
Cooking multiple eggs at once in boiling water is a convenient way to prepare eggs for a group or for future use. Just ensure that you have enough space in the pot to allow the eggs to cook evenly without crowding them.
