I am puzzled.....
I have an egg boiler which can make boil eggs to perfection.
For those who don't know it I will shortly explain.
The eggs are punctured (so they don't crack when being boiled) and are positioned in the device. Water is measured with the measuring cup and the lid is put on. Egg boiler is then connected to 220 V and boiling starts.
The device has no switch so it cannot be turned on/off unless you pull the plug.
There is no timer either as the device will start buzzing when the eggs are finished!
As you can see on the pictures, the amount of water you add are depending on how many eggs you are boiling and how boiled you want them to be. Soft, medium or hard.
As you also can see on the pictures of the measuring cup, you need to add more water if you want hard boiled eggs than if you want soft eggs.
The egg boiling device will start buzzing when all the water in the bottom has evaporated and since less water added will mean shorter evaporation time, the eggs will be soft and vice versa if you add more water as it equals more time to evaporate it all and thus harder eggs.
So far so good but now the logic (for me at least) ends.
Why does it takes less water to boil 7 eggs hard (or medium or soft) than it takes to boil one single egg hard (or medium or soft)?
I don't get it...:confused: More water = more boiling time but why does one egg needs more boiling time than 7 eggs at a certain hardness?
