I tried that a couple of weeks ago; the yolk was still liquid. It turned out to be a failed experiment. Never again.
- astonex 2y agoAre you sure your water was fully boiling? Not just little bubbles at the bottom of the pan, but the top is properly rumbling
- Eddy_Viscosity2 2y agoIf the eggs come from the fridge they need 13min for a fully cooked yoke. The key is to put the eggs in after the water is already boiling.
- calciphus 2y ago6.5 minutes is soft boiled for a large (in US egg sizing) egg. Soft boiled eggs don't have fully set yolks or firm whites. These are the kinds of eggs you use for ramen. If you want a fully set yolk you need more time (about 10 min or so), but that's a personal preference.
