how long do u have to cook an egg for to get the yolk gooy?

Answer 1

Bring eggs to room temperature before using.
If the egg has been stored in the refrigerator it can be warmed gently under a flowing hot tap.

Place sufficient water to cover the eggs in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.

Lower the eggs carefully into the water, using a tablespoon.

When the water reboils, start timing and reduce the heat so that the water simmers gently.

Fast boiling makes the wgg ehite tough and causes the egg to bang against each other and crack.

Timing boiled eggs depends on the size and degree of hardness desired.

You should start timing the eggs from the moment the water first boils.

Soft-boiled (soft whites, soft yolks):

Large size: 3 minutes 20 seconds.

Medium size: 3 minutes.

Small size: 2 minutes 40 seconds.

Medium-boiled (hard whites, soft yolks):

Large size: 4 minutes 15 seconds.

Medium size: 3 minutes 50 seconds.

Small size: 3 minutes 20 seconds.

Hard-boiled (hard whites, hard yolks):

Large size: 10 minutes.

Medium size: 8 minutes.

Small size: 7 minutes.

Answer 3

I soft boil my eggs by tossing them in a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Then I remove them with tongs. I hold them under cold running tap water 'till they are cool enough to peel them. I put said eggs (usually 2 or 3 of 'em) into bowl, and nuke them in microwave on high for 30 seconds. they always come out hot & gooey soft boiled.
