How to tell if an egg is half boiled?

Question

its easy to tell a hard boiled egg from a raw egg, but what about half boil eggs?

Answer 1

Lay the Egg on it's side, and spin it. The boiled Egg will spin longer than a raw Egg. The yolk, and egg whites in the raw Egg stop it from spinning for very long. The same is true with a half boiled Egg. It will spin longer than the raw Egg, but not as long as the hard boiled Egg.

Answer 2

Put it in a pot of water and it floats halfway between the bottom of the pot and the surface of the water.

Answer 3

5 mins is a hard boiled egg.

Soft boiled is three.

So i figure, 2.5 minutes gives you a half boiled egg.

Answer 4

Years ago, they sold these little hour glass sand timers used for boiling eggs, and the sand ran down in 3 minutes. So half-boiled is 1.5 min.
