    bring your water to a boil,add a little salt. then put your room temp. eggs for 3 minutes. this will let you know how to adjust your times for your perfect egg. only crack the top of the egg and use a small spoon to dip out the goodies.(baby spoon) i think the actual time is 5 minutes. at least you have a starting point. good luck.

    I start my soft-boiled eggs in hot tap water, and when the water boils they are ready. Pour off hot water. open over buttered toast cubes and remove shells
