About the Visual Egg Timer
Our free online visual timer for eggs helps you cook the perfect boiled egg every time. Watch the egg empty as it cooks, giving you a satisfying visual representation of your egg's progress from raw to perfectly done.
Egg Cooking Times
- Soft boiled (3 minutes) - Runny yolk, barely set white. Perfect for dipping toast soldiers.
- Medium boiled (6 minutes) - Jammy yolk, fully set white. Ideal for ramen or salads.
- Hard boiled (9 minutes) - Fully set yolk, perfect for egg salad or deviled eggs.
Tips for Perfect Boiled Eggs
- Start with room temperature eggs - Cold eggs are more likely to crack
- Use a timer - Even 30 seconds can make a difference in yolk consistency
- Ice bath - Transfer eggs to ice water immediately to stop cooking
- Start timing when water boils - Or when you lower eggs into boiling water
- Older eggs peel easier - Use eggs that are 7-10 days old for best peeling
