    I couldn't imagine you ever having a hair out of place!

      Fark's sake, egg boiling techniques have been known for millenia. Bring your water to the boil then lower in the egg. Cross-reference the following matrix for cooking time:

      Small Egg: coddled 1 min / soft 2 mins / medium 3 mins / hard 4 mins
      Medium Egg: coddled 1.5 mins / soft 2.5 mins / medium 3.5 mins / hard 4.5 mins
      Large Egg: coddled 2 mins / soft 3 mins / medium 4 mins / hard 5 mins

      As soon as you remove the egg, knock off the top to release the steam.

        Personally, I think boling eggs is insulting to unborn chickens

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            Hmm, but what's the figures for people like me who keep our eggs in a super-chilled fridge the whole time. After 6-7 min the yolk still runs.

            No-one seems to have thought about that all those millenia ago...
