URGENT - boiled egg

[Tiredmumno1]

How long should a boiled egg be done for to be perfect for boiled egg + soldiers. Ta

3 mins for soft and 5 mins for hard boiled

3.5 minutes. If it looks a bit too runny when you lop the top off just put it back on for a minute. The only thing I can cook properly.

And the water needs to be boiling well before you put the egg in.

I'm totally crap at this
dd1 often has a hard boiled egg and soldiers

Depends how big the egg is too! (also whether it has been in fridge or not). I would say 3.5 for a small egg, 4 mins for a large. Bit longer if you keep them in the fridge.

see, its very variable and I have no chance of getting it right

egg in cold water, heat up, boil for 3 minutes

Thanks guys i did them for 3, and they were yummy dp and ds loved them, no doubt i will have to do them more often. You r all great such quick responses especially furball, thats got to be the quickest i have ever seen lol

Three verses of 'Onward Christian Soldiers' according to my Granny.

agree with eccentric - 3.5 mins (medium egg)
