put egg(s) in a saucepan of water.

Put saucepan on the hob until water starts to boil.

Take pan off the heat and leave to stand for 4 minutes.

and it has took all my life to find this way to make the perfect runny boiled egg.

Or buy one of those things you pop in the water that tell you when it's soft

Eggs from fridge or kitchen top?

Are the whites fully cooked?

So many unanswered questions

Not to piss on your chips, but.

The size of pan, volume of water, output of hob would cause variables for everyone else.

Great that it works on your setup though

Kitchen top, never put your eggs in the fridge.

The perfect poached egg every time

Boil water until bubbling...add a touch of olive oil, salt and pepper

Turn off heat and stir water before adding eggs, so they don’t mix

Put toast in and by the time toast is done, eggs will be perfectly poached with runny yolk

Place carefully with a spoon in rapid boiling water so its completely covered for exactly 5 mins and 15 secs and take out with spoon and turn off heat. Will be perfect with soldiers ( medium / large egg)

Never tried this but read an alternative method used in an overseas coffee shop is as follows:-

“Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water and cover with a lid and set a timer for 7 minutes.”

I will give it a go to see if it works.
