To firm up at 100Â° it takes an additional 2 minutes (you can test this by dropping some egg yolk into boiling water in a freezer bag and observe, I just did that to verify my old numbers). So in this case you'll have 9 minutes for a hard boiled egg and around 5 for soft boiled. By then the time/temp equation has normalized and you'll see longer and longer spans between consistency changes. Custardy is about 5 minutes for a medium (Grade AA) egg. Secondly, my approach.
Starting with a pot of cold water, poke a pinhole in the large end (air pocket) of each egg. (this allows for expansion of the egg without cracking â¦the shell). Place the eggs in the pot, cover it and bring it to a boil. Boil the eggs 3 minutes for soft boiled eggs or 10 minutes for hard boiled. Drain the eggs and immediately cover them with cold running water until they are completely cooled, about 5-10 minutes, if they are to be served cold.
