It is important,the temperature of the egg.
If it is at room temperature then 4 mins for soft boiled,8 mins for hard boiled but make sure the water is boiling! If the eggs are out of the fridge then at least another minute for soft-boiled and 2 minutes for hard-boiled. |

I am okay, but a little down - which is unusual for me
 I lost my father and a lovely cousin lately, and it has affected me.I am still in the process of selling my flat, so no travelling yet. As it is so late now I might not go travelling until the spring, if at all. I have fallen back in love with horseracing, so travelling the world is more problematic. It was a great idea when I was just playing poker, but horseracing is different. The time zones are a problem. You know what I think about 'okay' is not good enough. People waste their lives on 'okay'. My cousin, after years and years of urging by me, has left her husband of 38 years and she now feels so sorry that she did not do it sooner. |

poached eggs...please try tomorrow morning
boil a saucepan of water with a pinch of salt. when boiled turn down to 4 ish, add a half table spoon of vinegar. gently place into the saucepan the egg already "in a tea cup" very gently FFS! 2.5 TO 3 mins should be the best poached egg you've ever had, thank me tomorrow. |

2 is too little. 3 to 4. The next trick is getting the shell off easily, and I believe the best way to do that is, once cooked (and remember post boil there will be a slightly heat retaining cooking time that this procedure will remove) - plunge it into cold water. I think this really helps.

JC - if I boil were to boil my eggs for 3 to 4 mins, the white would be half unset. My eggs are very fresh (2/3 days from lay) and are never kept in a fridge. I bring water to a rolling boil and boil for exactly FIVE minutes. This give a granddaughter-perfect "dippy" egg where all the white is set, and the very outside of the yolk is set but the middle is runny.

blackbarn I'm never really exact about these things, and rarely in a rush so I tend to let it sit in hot water for a while anyway so yes mine will be > 3/4 anyway.
They'll still be cooking a bit at 80c there is nothing magic about 100 I'm sure. I don't like raw eggs I like them properly cooked, don't like it if I'm served a breakfast and they are too runny either. I like pickled eggs, I'm tempted to buy a couple of the HUGE ones the chip shops have. I'd eat half of one at a sitting and be constipated for a month  |

GoodDog's method of the perfect poached egg is how I do it as well but I add a bit more malt vinegar and they invariably come out spot on. Two runny poached eggs on granary toast a few crispy rashers is my favourite breakfast.
To peel a boiled is quite simple, tap it top and bottom to break the shell and roll it a couple of times. Use a tea spoon to remove the shell and it comes off very easily. |

JC - Re Pickled Eggs - The big jar on the counter in my daughter's local chippy has a label that says "Allergy Advice - Contains Egg"

Suprised no one has mentioned https://www.deliaonline.com/how-to-cook/eggs/how-to-boil-an-egg
Personally, for medium soft boiled eggs & with an electric cooker, I put two room temperature eggs into a milk pan, almost cover the eggs in cold tap water, put on the lid & bring to a rapid boil, turn off the ring, sit lid at an angle to prevent water overflowing and leave for 3.5 / 4 mins. Remove and serve immediately. Perfick  Sometimes, despite being room temp, they crack and blowout ... I'll try the pin prick idea next time. Never heard that before & makes sense. Guten Appetit! |
