My sister Tina put me onto this app called Egg Timer Free. It takes a few goes to get used to it but once you do you will have perfect eggs every time! Literally just finished cooking breakfast having used this app and I'm really excited that I can now get soft boiled eggs ever time. Brings back memories as a kid, dipping the toast soldiers into the runny yolk.... :) And then toast soldiers remind me of having breakfast with my Nanna :D
Anyway, a really good app, just need to note that the water needs to be boiling from the get go (worked this out from a few tests) and when the timer goes off and it says to get it out trust it, it knows what it is doing.
The cooking settings take into account egg size, egg temperature, altitude, and what sort of boil you want. And you can pick from:
- white begins to set, yolk liquid
- white partly set, yolk begins to set
- white largely set, yolk soft solid
- white tender solid, yolk waxy
- white firm, yolk firm
- white rubbery solid, yolk crumbly
We normally go for white largely set, yolk soft solid which is perfect for dunking toast into. To get really tasty eggs we get free range eggs from the butcher. They are local to my home town (which is nice) and are genuine free range because we rang the farm and check the ratio of chickens to area. Makes me very happy for the chickens (I'm sure they are happy too) but I find they taste heaps better too! Look forward to having my own chickens :D
