Eggs may be boiled in the shell to a desired state of firmness or out of the shell (poached).
Poached eggs: Open egg into small shallow bowl to avoid breaking yolk and allow inspection for blood spots. Gently transfer into a pot of swirling, gently boiling water. (It helps if the water is swirling in the pan before adding the egg. This stops the egg from settling and sticking to the bottom). Cook eggs 90 to 120 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon and place on toast.
Boiled eggs in shell (soft boiled eggs): Place eggs in cold water while still in shell (cold eggs placed in boiling water may split). Bring water to a boil. When water reaches a steady boil start to time eggs. One minute for very soft eggs, two minutes for medium, three for firm soft boiled eggs. A recent technology is of some assistance for timing soft boiled eggs . A clear plastic "egg" has been developed that changes color with temperature. It shows the degree of done-ness of the egg by getting darker against a scale. When the scale shows the desired condition the cooked real egg is removed
Hard Boiled eggs (for potato salad/egg salad): As above. Allow eggs to boil for ten minutes. Turn off heat for another 5-10 minutes. Cool under cold water. Shell immediately as it is easier sooner than later.
