Eggs are usually boiled for 3-5 minutes, so that the boiled eggs are not only delicious, but also easy to digest. Remember to boil eggs in cold water. If you want to eat soft eggs, it is recommended to cook for about three minutes. If you want to eat more tender eggs, it is recommended to cook for about five minutes. When cooking eggs, remember to cook them for as long as possible. The longer you cook, the harder the yolk will become and the more difficult it will be to digest.
