I have no idea.
'In the old days', we had a boiled egg most mornings. I'd guess they were fresh and came out of the larder, not a fridge. They went, for 3 mins, into boiling water and I don't remember anything other than the perfect runny yolk and a nice firm white.
For all my adult life, this process hasn't worked. If the white is firm, the yolk's a bit firm too. Small egg take less time. Fridge eggs need an extra minute, or, if large, 2, but not always. Whites are hard outside but water further in....
AAAAARGH.
However this morning, 1 large egg, straight from the fridge, lowered slowly into near boiling water, and then boiled for 5 mins exactly was just, for once, perfect.
I'll never repeat it tho. Anyone have a fool proof sure fire way to boiled egg heaven?
