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 β 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.
Meat Defrost Time Calculator
Estimate the safe thawing time for frozen meat based on weight and method (refrigerator, cold-water bath, microwave). Use it to plan meals ahead and avoid food-safety risks from room-temperature thawing.
