Allow the water to come to a complete boil before adding in the eggs.. Then I usually leave the eggs in the boiling water for about 10 minutes!!!

We always put the eggs in the cold water, brought the water to a boil, reduced heat to simmer, then cook until they float.

For soft boiled eggs bring water to rolling boil, add the eggs, cook 3 minutes, then remove. Of course soft boiled eggs are not fully cooked so there is some risk eating them this way. If you get a bad egg it can make you sick.

eight to ten minutes depending on the type of stove you have, AND also, if the egg shell starts to crack, less. :]
