Wow. This worked so perfectly fo me. Lowering the heat on the boil prevented eggs from popping open. Whites were tender, not rubbery with perfect runny yolks. Yay! Thank you!

Lowered eggs into the non boiling water as if I was stepping away from a ticking bomb and every single egg broke 🤷🏼‍♀️

Eggs were over cooked and cold even at 6.5 mins. I’ll try a different method

Very tasty!
…a tip to prevent cracked eggs when boiling. Poke the wide bottom of the egg with a stick/push pin.
…Ice bath works great, a fine technique.

These came out as close to perfect of any attempt I’ve made at soft-boiled eggs.. Or they would have, had I not skipped the ice in the cold water bath. That made them more difficult to peel, as described. Next time I will get my act together and make sure to use the ice.
