Pierce the blunt end with a pin and place in boiling water. 4 1/2 minutes at sea level - more if you live at 1500 ft. like I do.
To test, take the egg out of the water and away from the steam and count 10 seconds. The shell should be completely dry. I f it dries before you've counted to ten it's overdone and you can't do much about it. If it's still wet, pop it back for a few seconds.

Always start the boiling process by placing the eggs in unheated water and be sure to cover the eggs completely. When it starts to boil, let it go for 2 1/2 minutes. You may need to adjust the timing for the size of eggs and type of heat you are using. Electric or gas.

It's called a soft boiled egg or 3 minute egg because you boil it for 3 minutes.

Depends on the size of your egg. Medium - 3 minutes when placed into already boiling water.
