Answers:
my mom used to tell me, that if you want a soft boiled egg, pray three "our father" prayers. :D

Other Answers:
Soft- 11 Minutes Hard- 15 Minutes

Soft boiled is meant to be 3 minutes and hard boiled about 10 if the water is boiling before u put the egg in its 3 and a half mins for soft, 5 and a half for hard

Hard 10
Soft 3-5

make sure you cook the egg in the Microwave
it cooks faster you wont be sorry. *evil laugh*

I think when you in put the egg when the water is boiling already soft take 2 min and hard take 5 min over that the shell starts to crack and water comes in not a good taste wow what a difference in answers.

what works for me is this:

wait for the water to boil.
for soft boiled without the runny white stuff - 5 and half minutes and then 30 seconds in cold water.

for hard boiled, 6 and half upwards.

This has alwasy been my formula as different size pans reach bioling point at different times. So alwasy wait for the wwater to be boiling first.

Hppe this helps

From boiling point.

Soft: min. 3-4 minutes
Hard: min. 10+ minutes

hard boiled 10
soft 3 to 5

10-12 for hard boiled (large eggs) and I used to use a device called an egg timer, sand in hourglass, ok maybe it wasnt an hour. but thats how we did soft boiled. I used to do softboiled for my son, then got to be a pain to peel, I just made him a sunnyside up, same thing Soft boiled - 3 mins
Hard Boiled - 5 mins.

experience!

THE EGG SHOULD BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, OTHERWISE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE WILL CAUSE THE SHELLS TO CRACK. SOFT BOILED - SIMMERING WATER LOWER IN EGGS BOIL FOR 1 MINUTE REMOVE SAUCEPAN FROM HEAT LEAVE FOR FURTHER 5 MINUTES
HARD BOLED - PUT EGGS IN COLD WATER BRING TO SIMMER AND SIMMER FOR 7 OR 9 MINUTES DEPENDING ON SIZE OF EGGS - REMEMBER TO PUT STRAIGHT INTO COLD WATER TO STOP THEM COOKING AND THE STOP THE DARK RING AROUND THE YOLK
