Soft boiled runny eggs & hard boiled eggs

[astarra]

Doesn't make sense Halex. 
After reading this on Sat night I did some for the girls tea to try it out, I put 6 in (and my red thing in the centre just cuz I could) and did 600ml water, sp1.5 for 12.5min, all were perfect soldier eggs, evenly cooked etc. So don't understand how yours cook so unevenly? 

[Halex]

I dont get it either, spaced them out evenly, was very genle with them, from the same carton of eggs.

Its a mystery, always happens

[Wonder]

hally have you tried them in the PC?

Wonder, no would  never think of that

I would assume they woud explode & you would have messy eggs for breakfast, lol

[astarra]

Every now and then my hard boiled eggs explode in the TM...

[Wonder]

I've read through that link a few times and the eggs look great but we aren't big boiled egg eaters so have never cooked them like this.

[Halex]

Next time cp has them for breakfast will try in pac & let you know.

H - did perfect soft yolked soldier eggs for lunch again today...same method as above, I find 12 min not enough and 13 too much, so do 12 then another 30sec when it beeps. Perfect...and all evenly cooked.    Really don't understand how your doesn't cook evenly.

Hally you will have to try it one more time 

[Wonder]

Hally are your eggs all the same size? I find sometimes if I buy free range from the market they can all be slightly different.

I'm not sure where I got this from (on this forum somewhere I think  ) but it has always worked for me. I only do one "layer" of eggs in the basket.

1.Place 500g water in TMX.
2.Place eggs in basket and program Temp Varoma, speed 1 and times as follows:
(I would say these times are for very large eggs)
11 mins  - liquid yolk and creamy white
12 mins - creamy yolk and firm white
13 mins - softish yolk
14 mins - quite firm yolk
15 mins - hard boiled eggs
If your eggs are small, reduce time.

this is awesome

Absolutely great to see you posting PAAF. How are you and what have you been doing. I have been wondering how your procedure went and if it  was successful and are you a happy camper. I hope all is well with you . We do get a bit concerned when we do not hear from some of our forum members and are therefore delghted to see you.

That is a very useful post on eggs, especially as we have so many new members without a lot of experience with the  Thermomix . Thanks for bumping.

I've just started boiling eggs in the TMX and didn't realise how easy and convenient it is.

[gertbysea]

Did you have to ask how much water and for how long and what speed wonder or did you just do it? LOL!

I always use the thermomix. It's the only way to boil eggs as far as I'm concerned.
