How long should you cook a duck egg for

Question

to preferably have it soft boiled

Answer 1

6-7 minutes.  I have tried eight minutes and ended up with hard boiled eggs.  I start the water boiling, prick the egg at both ends to prevent cracking (they should be room temperature) and when water is boiling, remove lid and gently place egg in.  Set timer.

Do not do what I do and drop the d**n thing on the floor after cooking!  V frustrating and makes one spectacular mess!

Answer 2

treat it like regular chicken egg

Answer 3

Depends on how you want to cook it.

Answer 4

Cook it for at least 5 mins. I had one years ago and ended up in bed with food poisoning for a week. I wont touch them now.

Answer 5

Around 15 to 20 minutes. 15 if you want a runny yolk.

Answer 6

an hour
