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!

Haha, yeah totally get that! Also, how did I forget poached!! Okay, those tie over-easy for me

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.

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)
