How do you cook a soft boiled egg?

Answer 1

AnswerLeave them in there for about 10-15 minutes. Depending on your stove, experiment and try and like they say a watched pot never boils.... AnswerA lot of it depends on where you live. If you live in Denver, for example, water boils at a lower temperature because of the fact that the elevation is a mile above sea level and the air is much more thin. That will mean that many things, such as eggs, will need to cook longer because the temp is lower to begin with. At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. (100 degrees centigrade) The temperature goes down when the altitude goes up.

Hard boiled eggs will not be hard boiled unless boiled for at least 10 minutes a six minute egg is traditionally known as a soft boiled egg so boil for 10 minutes, then turn heat off, let stand for at least 5 minutes if not needed straight away it will not hurt to leave in hot water till water has cooled.

Answer : Canada Ont. Start eggs in cold water bring to boil let boil for 10 minutes mine always come out fine.

I usually put the eggs in the pot, add enough cold water to cover the eggs then place on the stove. bring the water to a boil, remove from heat and cover with a lid. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. The eggs will be perfectly hard boiled and you won't have that dark pigment around the yolk. BTW.... I too am in southern Ontario, Canada.

Answer 2

You would normally time the egg, it takes about 7 to 8 minutes to hard boil a medium size hens egg, if you need to be sure it is hard boiled then all you need to do is spin the egg on a flat surface, if it is hard boiled it will spin on end, because the contents are solid, if it is only part cooked then it will wobble because part of the egg is still liquid.

Answer 3

Bring water to boil in a pot. (Boil just enough water that will cover how many eggs you are going to be cooking.) Once water has come to a bowl gently put eggs into water using a spoon - as to not crack the eggs. Then set your timer for 9 minutes. Once time has passed, immediately take pot off of stove. Pour off hot water & rinse eggs with cold water. If you put them under cold water they don't burn your fingers once you peel them. Now you have perfectly soft boiled eggs. If you want to increase the hardness of eggs leave on to boil for one more minute or even leave your eggs in the shell for a bit more time before you peel them.

Answer 4

Put the eggs in the pan then cover with cold water and some salt to the water and cover with a lid. When the water starts to boil turn of burner and let set for 10 min. Then place in cold water to peal.

Answer 5

Put eggs in a pan of cold water (the water should at least cover the eggs), bring to boil, and boil for 3-5 minutes (depending on the size of the eggs). 4 minutes on a medium boil is about right for a medium sized soft boiled egg.
