Boiling eggs?

Question

I love eating boiled eggs in eggcups with toast, how long should I boil the eggs so they are still runny inside.

Answer 1

that was my breakfast! 4 mins in the water from cold to boiling

Answer 2

Place the egg in cold water and put the cup on the stove. When the water boils, keep boiling for 2-3 minutes. The duration needed for the egg to be boiled with the yolk still "runny" varies from season to season, as the water will boil faster in summer. Also the altitude where you live will also affect the time water needs to boil. The higher you are, the faster it will boil. Therefore, you will need to boil your egg a little longer.

Answer 3

I generally use the 2 1/2 minutes rule for large eggs, less for smaller eggs.
I normally start with cold water with the eggs already in it. Bring everything to a boil and turn off the heat immediately and start the timer. When the 2 1/2 minutes is up I run the eggs under the tap with cold water for 1 minute and eat.

Answer 4

About 2-4 minutes!

Answer 5

micro wave is the way to go ....need to break egg into microvave egg cup stab yoke a few times with sharp point (I use a knife) to prevent a splatter and cook for 30secs per egg check for softness and cook for few more secs if too soft ...depends on the power of your oven how long it takes but it is only seconds so be careful after the first one or two you will know exactly
