But others those aren't the kind for dipping toast. <br /><br />Stop guessing it the water is boiling: use a thermometer!Nil Zedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520824032188190823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-18361978644453690972011-05-12T11:26:36.397-07:002011-05-12T11:26:36.397-07:00@ Jen - I'm pretty sure that's my problem ...@ Jen - I'm pretty sure that's my problem right there. Not knowing when to consider the water boiling enough, and start timing. Poor judgement! Your method sounds like the method J uses.<br /><br />I so love a good egg for dipping into. You have a photo that made me salivate when I saw it.<br /><br />@ Mel - I've had too much trial and error, methinks. Much, much error.Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-44900055857742112692011-05-11T20:33:31.293-07:002011-05-11T20:33:31.293-07:00Yeah I agree with Jen.

If I do say so myself my boiled eggs for dippi...ok. If I do say so myself my boiled eggs for dipping toast are quite exceptional. We like a nice amount of runny yolk here but the white soft, not runny. Soooo, I put the egg/s in the pot and fill the pot with cold tap water until just covering the egg/s. I bring water to the boil with saucepan lid on/or off doesn't matter. Now I don't wait until it is boiling madly to start the timer but I don't start as soon as it is starts bubbling either....in between (does that make sense?) I leave it boiling for 2 1/2 minutes, turn stove off and then leave until water stops boiling completely. Remove egg - chop the top off. Yum. Now I know the norm is to boil for 3 minutes but I find mine always end overdone if I stick to the 3 minute rule :o)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014166055596830386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-28311175258293215212011-05-11T18:03:04.511-07:002011-05-11T18:03:04.511-07:00Thank you so much!
