how long does it take to get eggs to boil
Please note some people suggest adding salt or vinegar to the water, I do neither as I believe it will affect the flavor of the eggs. The average size egg requires this much time for doneness: â Soft-boiled yolk / 4 to 5 minutes. â Medium-boiled yolk / 6 to 7 minutes. â Hard-boiled yolk / 12 to 15 minutes. Remove pot with eggs from stove, pour out hot water and fill with cold water, let eggs cool for at least 10 minutes then drain and peel the eggs for use.
