Indeed. I am very much looking forward to how my breakfast turns out tomorrow morning when I try his 6-minute egg recipe, since I have always gone with 3 minutes.

The “poke a hole in the end” trick is supposed to work like a charm to prevent the green yolk problem, but I have never tried it.

If it does, it has been cooked too long. My mom always called a soft-boiled egg a "three-minute egg," so I never have any trouble remembering how long to cook it. And although that does the trick for me in real life, if I were to judge by the photos above, I would say that I in fact prefer a 5-minute egg. For hard-cooked, I put the eggs in cold water (having pricked them on the broad ends), bring them to a full boil and turn off the heat as soon as they reach a full boil. i then remove them from the heat and let them sit in the boiled water for about 10-15 minutes, then submerging them in cold water until they are cool enough to peel.

Unfortunately I am an 11 to 13 minute person; I could probably force down a 9-minuter. Runniness more than that makes me spew. That’s a great illustration.

I guess I've been wasting time and fuel in my egg-boiling. By me, the five and seven minute eggs are perfect softboiled eggs (for the sort I want to eat anyway), the thirteen and fifteen minute eggs are perfect hardboiled eggs, and the others are potential dogfood.

I never really thought about this before. Interesting, all the levels of boiledness. I never really thought about this before.
