I don’t like cleaning a pan when I get up early for work. I have a microwave

    How big/thick shelled are your eggs that you need 7.5 - 8 min?

    Mine are done in 4 min, max. Hard white, gooey yellow. Yum :)

      Large eggs (50g each) straight out of the fridge (~3ºC) will take about 7min to reach that stage of doneness. Extra-large would take longer. Room temp eggs and smaller eggs would cook faster.

        Fair. We have two kinds of eggs here. The ‘large’ thin shelled commercial, a max ~ 40g, and a thick shelled small egg (~ 20g) from our own hens. (The small ones are both tastier and healthier, but our chickens are more pets. Not an egg laying variety. Those are just a bonus)

        Edit: Forgot to add, they are also boiled straight out of a fridge at 5C

      Because more eggs are used for baking than straight eating in our house, ones sold as “jumbo”.

      Exact size varies a little by brand but usually means ≥65g.

      Boiled egg times vary a lot with elevation. Water boils at a cooler temperature at high elevation than at sea level. This cooler boiling water means eggs take longer to cook.
