daft question (yes i don't cook) how do you know when i fried egg is cooked? :?

it should look firm on the top, not runny.

sounds like my girlfriend lol :D

does anyone know how long it takes to cook the perfect boiled egg? i like mine with lots of yellow runny yolk so i can dip me toasted soldiers in:)

i asked this question last night cos i want to know the answer, see my above post please, there must be some good cooks/chefs/ egglovers in here

does anyone know how long it takes to cook the perfect boiled egg? i like mine with lots of yellow runny yolk so i can dip me toasted soldiers in:)

I put my eggs into cold water, heat it to boiling and boil for three minutes; they come out exactly how I like them. I can't vouch them being how you like them, but the yolk should still be runny.

I drop my eggs (large ones) into boiling water and boil for three minutes exactly. They are always perfect and yolk oozes down the egg cup when I stuff the soldier in mmmm.

Never been a big boiled egg fan!
