hi tamara, wow yor up late hun, just like me...lol...going to bed soon...got a headache with all the computing i am doing....i like mine pretty much like yours....like in the pic below...perf-egg...lol.....

Hi tatty,


That looks yummy! just the I like it, but I haven't made one for ages so I might have one later on. Love and hugs.


Tamara

oh the roomie like his eggs to bounce...lol....i like them like that in a salad but not for breakfast, i like mine soft boiled...just like in the picture...

The roomie is a she, but yeah, but for salads and stuff.

Me mum useta soft boil eggs and they are pretty tasty on toast, but I'm not gonna fix one myself, breakfast is a catch as may meal for me these days.

what i do is put cold water into a pan, add the egg at the same time, when the water comes to the boil, then i start timing the egg, i let it boil for 3 minutes then take the egg out, then i run it under a cold tap for a few seconds, it comes out perfect, soft yolk and the white is cooked perfect....

so you like them really hard boiled....they are nice if they are in a salad, but i do tend to like them nice and soft boiled so i can dip my toast in them...they are very nice, i always use free range eggs too....

oh i love devilled eggs, but not hard boiled if i am having breakfast, i like to dip my toast in and get the yolk out....i am not an egg fan really but i do like to have some every now and then....

lol, i used to time mine just by watching it but it came out all sloppy and i hate sloppy eggs, i like the yolk sift and the white just cooked with some toast dipped in...yum

egg timer, means an hour glass with sand inside....a 3 minute one....sorry i should explain myself better....lol...i love my eggs soft and yolky, with a soft white, not too sloppy with toast dipped in...yum nothing better than that, oh and a little bit of salt....very yum....

so kind you are to explain to me ! Thank you my friend,enjoy your egg,it looks perfect!

thankyou....

eww i couldn't eat them runny that would just knock me sick i think, i have to make sure that the yolk is just right, not too cooked and not too sloppy, f it's sloppy then i could go off eggs for years...

now call me crazy, but i have just answered this one, and now i cannot find the other thrad, what's going on....i know i talk to myself but this has just blown me away, i was talking about the new egg cooker that doesn't need water.....lol....hmmmm, strange....

now i am scratching my head in puzzlement, i swear i posted a thread about that little egg maker, anyways, what i was saying was...there was this guy on dragons den who invented an egg cooker, it was like a little capsule about the same size of an average egg, no water, and what you do is place the egg inside, close it, switch on the timer and wallah, one perfect egg, this man made millions, now i have just seen henrietta, i thought it ws the same thing, it is in a way but henrietta looks like she can take multiple eggs instead of just one....i don't know where this is going really...lol... i am still baffled to where my thread went....hmmm...yep, definitely losing it for real...lol...but i do like the idea of the way you cook your eggs not heard of that before, so when i get back from shopping i am going to try it out...thanks for the tip drannhh....

That device you describe sounds very ingenious and I would love to see it if you find a link! Well, I usually use the electric egg cooker, but if you try the method where you turn the heat off, I believe the correct time to leave the eggs covered in the water that was brought to a boil and then turned off is 20 minutes. I think I was told 15, but did not find that they cooked to my liking in that short a time. Longer and they might overcook, as we do not want them green around the yolk, lol.

I've tried them in the microwave, and guess what, they DO explode!
