Answer 3

If you are at sea level, get an egg timer from the $ store and use it to cook your egg. When the egg comes to a boil, and you must be watching closely, start the egg timer. Take the egg off the heat source when the egg timer has run down.

for hard boiled eggs, turn the egg timer over when it has run down and allow it to run again.

Never take your eyes off the kettle you are boiling eggs in. Yes, I know the &quot;watched pot never boils&quot; but that is because watching it is incredibly boring to watch a pot til it boils.

This works every time.  Cover the egg with cold water.  Bring to a full boil.  When it is to a FULL boil, remove from heat and cover pan.  Let set 4 minutes.  You will have solid white and soft yolk.
