Fark's sake, egg boiling techniques have been known for millenia. Bring your water to the boil then lower in the egg. Cross-reference the following matrix for cooking time:
Small Egg: coddled 1 min / soft 2 mins / medium 3 mins / hard 4 mins
Medium Egg: coddled 1.5 mins / soft 2.5 mins / medium 3.5 mins / hard 4.5 mins
Large Egg: coddled 2 mins / soft 3 mins / medium 4 mins / hard 5 mins
As soon as you remove the egg, knock off the top to release the steam.Comment

Personally, I think boling eggs is insulting to unborn chickens
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Hmm, but what's the figures for people like me who keep our eggs in a super-chilled fridge the whole time. After 6-7 min the yolk still runs.Originally posted by Dalek SupremeFark's sake, egg boiling techniques have been known for millenia. Bring your water to the boil then lower in the egg.

No-one seems to have thought about that all those millenia ago...
