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.

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.

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

Pah, chicken eggs are for permies.


Look at what Threaded eats!

Personally, I think boling eggs is insulting to unborn chickens
