How long do you boil soft eggs?
To get a perfectly soft-boiled egg, you need to boil it for 3-4 minutes.
Here's a breakdown of boiling times for different egg consistencies:
* 3 minutes: Soft yolk, very runny white.
* 4 minutes: Soft yolk, slightly thicker white.
* 5-6 minutes: Creamy yolk, set white.
* 7-8 minutes: Firm yolk, set white.
Important tips:
* Use cold water: Start with cold water and bring it to a boil. This helps ensure even cooking.
* Add salt: Adding a teaspoon of salt to the water helps prevent the eggs from cracking.
* Don't overcook: Overcooked eggs will have a rubbery yolk.
* Cool quickly: After boiling, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Enjoy your soft-boiled eggs!
