Egg Cooking Time Calculator
Find the ideal boiling time for a perfect soft, medium, or hard-boiled egg based on egg size and your preferred doneness. Removes the guesswork from one of cooking's most precise tasks.
Cooking Time
3.38 minutes
Under 5 minutes yields a runny yolk and just-set white. The 3-minute base lands at 3.4-4.8 min depending on egg size — start timing from a rolling boil.
Bands reflect standard boiled-egg doneness; the formula scales a 3/6/10-minute base by egg size, where 3-4 min is soft and 10+ min is hard.
Cooking Time Calculator
Estimate total roast or bake time for a cut of meat from weight, cooking method, target doneness, and a temperature adjustment factor. Use it to plan kitchen timing when a recipe gives "minutes per pound" guidance.
