To boil eggs on an induction cooker, follow these steps: Place the eggs in a pot, fill it with water, and bring the water to a boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and let the eggs cook for 6 to 8 minutes for a soft-boiled egg, 10 to 12 minutes for a medium-boiled egg, or 12 to 15 minutes for a hard-boiled egg. The key to successful boiling on an induction cooker lies in maintaining a consistent temperature and ensuring the eggs are fully submerged in the water.

The reason for these specific cooking times is based on the fact that the boiling point of water is 212°F (100°C) at sea level. Induction cookers heat the pot directly, which can lead to faster and more precise temperature control compared to traditional electric or gas burners. However, it's important to note that the cooking time can vary depending on the number of eggs, the size of the pot, and the initial water temperature. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the recommended cooking times for eggs are as follows:

Soft-boiled eggs: 6 to 8 minutes

Medium-boiled eggs: 10 to 12 minutes

Hard-boiled eggs: 12 to 15 minutes

These times ensure that the eggs are cooked to the desired level of doneness without overcooking. Overcooking can result in rubbery whites and yolks that are too dry. The induction cooker's ability to maintain a steady temperature is crucial in achieving these cooking times. For example, a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology found that induction cookers can provide more consistent heat distribution compared to electric cooktops, which can lead to more uniform cooking results. Additionally, the rapid heat-up time of induction cookers allows for quicker boiling, which can be beneficial when preparing multiple eggs or when time is a factor.
