    ^ did you pop them in already boiling water . I leave the toast whole until i open the egg, if its hard boiled (rarely) i scoop it out mash it on the toast eat it like and open sandwich, if Ok slice it for soldiers; trick i learnt with the kids coz they'd never shut up if the egg was hard and they couldn't dip.

    ^ Yeah, maybe I should get them to room temp next time before putting them in boiling water and guestimating an extra 5 minutes

    No, cold water, eggs in and 3 1/2 ish minutes from when the water starts to boil usually works for me - large size 4 mins.

    Different schools of thought as to the perfect soft boiled.
    Bring to a consistent simmer. Slowly emerge the room temp egg[s] to acclimate quickly.
    Turn fire/heat off. Allow the egg to sit and cook [as it will continue to] for approx. 2 1/2 minutes.

    Lifting the egg to coolish water for about ten seconds, allowing the shell to become temperate so can be handled to crack.

    And again....the resulting product and texture of what a "soft boiled" might be will certainly differ from one to the other.

    I make soft boiled eggs for the kids at least twice a week. Use shot glasses as egg cups.

    I take the eggs out of the fridge to get them up to room temp.

    Set the timer on the cooker for 5 minutes and add eggs to a pot of boiling water.

    Wait for the beep and take them out.

    ...and that's it. Never really had a problem with too hard or too runny.
    Black diamonds? I shit 'em.

    We used to leave our eggs out of the fridge, but it's so hot in our house that chicks would start developing. A cockerel is with our hens so all of our eggs are fertile.

    We definitely keep them in the fridge now.

    The egg sellers up country collect them and store them for days at ambient temperatures before distributing them.

    The eggs from egg farms aren't fertile.

    I don't think eggs should be kept in the fridge in normal temperatures, but why fridges have egg trays I have no idea.

    Nothing wrong with a little embryo with one's egg.
    Added protein.

    Welcome to the real world where things aren't invented for you.

    Must admit that it's around 6 or 7 years old.

    I'm waaaaayyyyy behind the times on the egg tray front.

    Gotta dash and churn some butter for the morning.

    No, if there's one thing Jeff with his high culinary background knows about it's eggs. Couldn't count how many times he's backed up his typed words by posting pics of perfectly cooked eggs. Oh wait...

    ^Yeah he'll be able to advise you on it, and any other subject you could possibly think of as well. Just don't expect him to be able to back anything up with real-world examples he's personally experienced accompanied by pics because he's full of shit and would be fucked without Google
