Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I set an egg timer?▾
Use about 6 minutes for soft boiled eggs, 8 minutes for jammy yolks, and 10 to 12 minutes for hard boiled eggs. Egg size and starting temperature can change the result.
Should I start the egg timer before or after boiling?▾
For the most consistent result, start the timer when the eggs go into already boiling water, then move them to cold water when the alarm sounds.
Can I adjust the timer while it runs?▾
Yes. Use the plus and minus controls or edit the display directly if you need to add or remove time.
