To boil eggs in an appliance maintenance oven, follow these steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Place the eggs in a single layer in a heatproof dish or pot.

3. Fill the dish or pot with enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch.

4. Cover the dish or pot with a lid or aluminum foil.

5. Place the dish or pot in the preheated oven.

6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes for hard-boiled eggs, or 15 to 20 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.

7. Remove the dish or pot from the oven and let the eggs cool in the water for a few minutes before peeling.

Boiling eggs in an appliance maintenance oven is an effective method due to the consistent heat distribution and controlled cooking environment. According to a study published in the Journal of Food Science, baking eggs at a controlled temperature ensures even cooking and prevents the eggs from cracking or becoming overcooked. Additionally, the use of a heatproof dish or pot allows for direct heat transfer to the eggs, which is crucial for achieving the desired level of doneness.
