how long do you have to boil a soft boiled egg?

Answer 1

No longer than 3 minutes for a really soft boiled egg, and about 4-5 for a normally soft egg :)
Longer than 5 for a hard boiled one.
In my experience... 4 mins will do!
Good Luck!

It's 10 minutes for hard boiled. Soft is about 7 minutes. And it takes longer if you're above 4,000 feet above sea level.

three minutes i think, you can get a egg cooking meter at cooking stores and you boil it with the eggs and it changes colors gauging how hard the eggs get, soft to hard
