I was told it was about 2-3 minutes for soft boiled eggs and once you pull it out of the boiling water is to run it under cold water.

I think I'll try that! It seems that 3-5 minutes is the general consensus........so I'll try it 3 and run it under some cold water thanks!

i put in a teaspoon of salt into the boiling water when i boil eggs. i dont remember why. it might be totally useless, but i find that my eggs are easier to peel after this.
