# into boiling water:
6 minutes for the perfect soft boiled- the white'll be set but not rubbery and the yolk'll be mostly liquid with a thin layer of hard yolk around the outside.

TRUST me.

# How old were the eggs?
Had they just been in the fridge?

I'm going on non refridgerated eggs here. Always works for me.

# I would have thought that them being cold would
slow the cooking.

Of course, it depends how hot the water they are cooked in is too :)

# We have a wonderful gizmo that you stick in the water with them
which changes colour as it 'cooks'.

Number of eggs, pan size, starting temp of eggies can all be variables, but with this thing actually in the water with them it takes a lot of that out of the equation.

Yes I am a bit OCD about boiled eggs.
