The question

How long should you boil an egg for soft vs. hard boiled?

Efficient

For perfect eggs, start by lowering them gently into boiling water. Here is the timing for large eggs:

  • Soft-boiled (runny yolk, set white): 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Medium-boiled (jammy yolk, firm white): 8 to 9 minutes.
  • Hard-boiled (fully set yolk and white): 10 to 12 minutes.

Pro tip: As soon as the time is up, move the eggs immediately into a bowl of ice water for at least 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes them much easier to peel.
