Here's the difficulty:

If I put the eggs in a pot with cold water, then I can't reliably control how they cook. There are too many factors: amount of water, pot size, heat setting, etc.

If I put them in already boiling water, then I can get good results by controlling only the timing. The problem is that too often the eggs will crack from the heat shock.

I tried placing the eggs in warm water (from the tap) for 5 minutes so they wouldn't be fridge cold, and also laying them gently in the pot with a spoon, but sometimes they still crack. Is there a way to avoid this?

  • @Sneftel The two suggestions there are: 1. put them in cold water 2. lower them with a spoon. I explained why I cannot do 1. and that I already do 2. – Megg Dec 04 '19 at 08:59

    There are, in fact, a great many more suggestions there. In any case, please read https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/253924/what-to-do-when-the-question-you-want-to-ask-is-a-duplicate . – Sneftel Dec 04 '19 at 09:03
