runny yolk, solid white.

Water just over the top of the eggs, in cold from the fridge with a shake of salt. Bring to the boil, 4 minutes exactly from the first sign of bubbles. Perfect every time.
Fucking typical, scottish eggs can handle another minute of boiling water can they? Harder than the english eggs are they? Honestly, bloody scots, always got to do it a bit different.
I only eat free range poncey eggs

I love doing it like this;
Cling film in egg holder, enough to hold the contents of the egg once cracked
Bit of olive oil in the cling film
Crack egg into cling film
Season with salt and pepper
Tie egg for the cling film, drop in pan of boiling water for 3 minutes
Mmm

Personally I do 2/3 Room temp eggs, boil kettle and pour into pan. Hob on full, eggs in 5 mins 20-30s. Usually just nice for dunking soldiers.

I put the a large cold egg pricked into boiling water for 7 minutes, then take pan off the and run cold water in the pan, till the water stays cool.
All the white will be cooked, with a perfect runny yolk.

I have an awesome egg timer.. Its basicly a clear egg with a flat red bottom, from the centre to the edge it has markings.
Soft
Perfect
Hard
As the eggs cook the red disapears from outside in. When it gets to your preference you remove eggs
Awesome

I'd get my mum to boil me some eggs but she lives over 100 miles away from me  so I just boil them myself TBH.
Not rocket science really is it?
