Depends on the size of the egg and what altitude you're at.

By:
There might be a course or something you could go on at the local college etc, i guess
on completion you'd get some sort of certificate, would also look good on your cv |
|
By:
I would think that your last two slices of toast are going to
be somewhat lacking egg wise! |

Using a desertspoon, remove the egg from the water. Blow off excess water from egg whilst removing out of 'steamy' area above pan. Count steadily (not slowly) to eight*. As you reach eight the last of the moisture on the egg should vanish. This would indicate the perfect egg, white fully cooked and yolk runny. If it flashes off earlier, it will be overcooked. If still wet, it will need replacing in pan.
A trick shown to me by a farmer's daughter...she knew quite a few!!  [:laugh*For those who can't remember, that's 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. |

By:
I did NOT write 'laugh'.
 |
|
By:
what other trick did you learn from the farmer's daughter - were they things that she shouldn't aughter
 |
|
By:
How much good advice do you need?
He already told you! You take it out and count to eight. If it's still wet you put it back in again! |
|
By:
Take what out of who - the farmer's daughter ?
|
|
By:
If a soft-boiled egg takes three minutes and I want two, do I have to boil them for 6 minutes ?

|
By:

|
|
By:

|
By:
Take them to the top of Everest and they will boil quicker.
|
|
By:
That's one for the NakedScientist.com!
Water may boil at a lower temperature but will the egg cook any quicker? |

Buy an egg boiler
 This is one gadget that I was pleased with buying. It is a little fiddly to start with, but when you have your perfect egg the way you like it you just have to remember the setting and the timing and then the egg problem is solved forever. It also gives you an egg pricker so that you never have broken eggs again. |

By:
Terry, I was not ignoring you, but you said my suggestion of an egg boiler was a waste of time, so it really did not need a reply did it
 I think you are winding me up, though |
