How Long Should I Boil Eggs?
The perfect timing for boiling eggs varies based on the desired level of doneness. For a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk, it should be boiled for about 4-6 minutes. For a medium-boiled egg with a slightly thickened yolk, it should be boiled for 7-8 minutes. For a hard-boiled egg with a fully set yolk, it should be boiled for 9-12 minutes.
