Soft-boiled eggs, i.e. liquid yolks covered in set egg whites, are usually ready after four and a half minutes.
Hard-boiled eggs can be cooked in hot water for up to ten minutes.
Afterwards both the egg yolk and the white are firm.
The so-called waxy egg is recommended as an intermediate stage.
After about seven minutes of cooking, the egg white is already firm, but the yolk is creamy and soft.
