I have a problem

[Westsidex]

Nope im not gay.Im trying to cook soft boiled eggs for a while now.My success rate is similar to a 4' basketball player.I have summoned the great genetics and still i end up with either a hard boiled egg or a rawish boiled egg (still eat them though).Is there a time that someone could give me for soft boiled eggs?

Dont say stick it in the microwave or give me a time in hours,
Westside.

PS i turn the cooker on too.

I always heard it was 3 minutes...........but then, I can't boil an egg. Good luck Westie.

Wait till the water boils first and then 5 minutes should do it. It's 10 minutes plus from when the water boils for a hard egg. Try that and see if it works. I don't want to have egg on my face again

If you put a cold egg into hot water the shell will crack.

Room temperature egg into pan of cold tap water, you then time 3 mins from when the water starts to simmer - if your pan is too small or water too shallow then your egg will crack.

Adding vinegar to the water will stop the white from leaking further, but you know - you do have to eat it afterwards.

That should give you a 'dippy egg' for your soldiers

Michelle is tougher then that, she won't crack

Qp tip - Put salt in water, it helps should an egg crack during boiling.

Hells kitchen,
