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.
It takes 5 minutes for water (just enough to cover the eggs) to boil, at which time I turn the heat off and let the eggs sit for 5 minutes, making a perfect soft-boiled egg. I make a batch every week for my wife and myself. The oven method may result in eggs that are easier to peel, though. I havenât tried it.
