Frequently Asked Questions
Why does egg size affect boiling time?
Heat needs to travel from the shell to the center of the egg, and that time scales with the egg mass to the two-thirds power, since heat travels through the surface area of a roughly spherical shape.
Why does altitude affect boiling time?
Water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitude, so eggs cook more slowly there and need extra time to reach the same doneness.
What is a typical time for a medium-boiled 57 gram egg at sea level?
A standard large 57 gram egg takes about 7 minutes at sea level for a medium-boiled result.
