Cómo funciona

  1. 1

    Select the egg size from the dropdown.

  2. 2

    Select the desired doneness.

  3. 3

    The calculator returns the recommended boiling time in minutes.

6 + (egg_size == 'small' ? 0 : egg_size == 'medium' ? 1 : egg_size == 'large' ? 2 : 3) + (doneness == 'soft' ? 0 : doneness == 'medium' ? 2 : 4)

Preguntas frecuentes

Does this account for altitude?

No, this is a general estimate. At high altitudes, water boils at lower temperatures, so you may need to increase the time slightly.

Should I start timing when the water boils or when I put the eggs in?

Start timing after the water returns to a rolling boil with the eggs in the pot.

  • Using the same time for different egg sizes.
  • Overcooking, which causes a green ring around the yolk.
