    Don’t discriminate based on entropy level, but each level has a best in class:

    Low: Soft boiled (8:30 sec)

    Medium: Over easy

    High: Propper fluffy scramble (10% butter, constant whisk)

      I don’t like the softness of a constant whisk. Diner style scramble. Literally crack the egg in the pan and scramble with the spatual. Dunno feels “homier”?

      poached eggs tho 🤤

      Soft boiled (8:30 sec)

      Wait what? I’ve been soft boiling eggs once a day since lockdown and must have tried every variation going. 8:30 would risk me a hard boiled egg. 7:00 - 7:30 the sweet spot for soft and 8:00 ish for medium. Below 7:00 and I risk not cooking the white enough.

      What devil’s eggs are you using?

        Lol, 60g healthy european chonkers, straight from the fridge into boiling water, then ice bath right after (if more than 2-3 eggs i’ll go a tad shorter because of post-cook thermal load)

        Whites firm and yolks perfectly runny, sliced in two with maldon salt to top. Perfection in two bites.

            Hahah, yeah, don’t know, just how I was raised I guess. My fridge came with one of those egg racks and I like having them out the box ready-to-go, plus it doesn’t harm them and they should stay fresher for marginally longer.

            Edit: Also probably helps my heat gradient on those perfect runny yolks but set whites!
