Ok.. so I am going with the water boiling and 6 mins once the eggs are put in. Do I keep it boiling or simmering?

I put a fridge cold egg into boiling water for 6 minutes and it seems to work. The whole 3 minutes for a boiled egg must be a different method because experience tells me that leads to a raw horrible mess of an egg.

I do 3 minutes but I put the egg into cold water and bring it to the boil in the water. Once boiling rapidly it’s three minutes.

put room temperature egg in cold water,
bring to the boil
simmer for 3 and a half minutes
rinse under cold tap afterwards

5 mins straight into boiling water. That's a large egg from the fridge.

I boil the kettle then put the water in a pan with the heat on, splash of vinegar and lower the eggs in slowly on a spoon, so they don't crack. Then set a timer for 6-7 mins and they come out dippy

6 minutes!

I do 5 mins. But I have a little gadget that changes colour. So it's been a few years since I did it without!
