1. Do you boil it for 3 mins or longer?
and
2. Do you boil the egg in cold water or already boiled water???
This is for boiled egg & soldiers ie toast .... :-) The egg needs to be runny for dipping :-)

I've always put my eggs in a pan of cold tap water making sure that the water just covers all eggs,dont put eggs from the fridge into boiling water this causes them to crack nearly always.Anyway...bring eggs to the boil as soon as you see the water is at boiling point,start timing...3 min for dippy eggs 5min40 sec for soft boiled (yolk is solid but very soft and creamy and still dark yellow mmm..) and hard boiled for me is when ever i remember to turn cooker off!if poss before pan boils dry!! happy soilder dipping:]

Place egg(s) in cold water. Time 2 minutes from when the water starts boiling for soft boiled (runny in the middle), 4 minutes for hard boiled.

Important to have egg at room temperature not straight out of fridge. Bring to boil from cold, 3 mins for medium size egg. Lift out of water as soon as time is up, some people say run under cold water but I think that's over-egging it!

For the "done right everytime" eggs:
Place eggs in pot, cover with very hot tap water. Boil for exactly 20 minutes. Rinse in very cold water. These are hard boiled.
If you want soft boiled, do the same as above, bring to a boil then cook for 3 - 5 minutes.
Good Luck!

Eggs in cold water, bring to boil, remove after 2 mins 40 secs....It works. 2 mins 20 secs for small eggs

let the water boil then place the egg in and leave for 3 to 4 mins depending on the size of the egg. I always but some vinegar in so if the egg cracks the yolk doesn't come out

Heat your water to a boil, then place your eggs in the boiling water by lowering them in with a spoon. Then boil for 3 mins. and run cool water over them. They should be runny in center. But make sure water is boiling first.

boil the water first then put the egg in for two to three mins no more for the perfect egg.
