I usually ask for soft and am happy with the result. When I don't remember to ask, that's when it's hard and a total waste. :) Interesting. I usually ask for soft and am happy with the result. When I don’t remember to ask, that’s when it’s hard and a total waste. :)

So if you ask for soft you're likely to get a snotty egg. Which is probably where medium came from. It tends to mean, set white, soft yolk! :-) Yeah, here, in general soft/medium/hard seems to refer to the whole egg. So if you ask for soft you’re likely to get a snotty egg.

My favourite eggs are scrambled eggs when I've cooked them myself and sunny side up eggs when Jac's cooked them. :) We do talk about soft and hard yolks here - not sure what I would get if I asked for a medium yolk. Craig,

I had taken to having easy over because nobody ever gets sunny side up right, and I hate what I call "egg snot" :-) I always end up scraping the icky runny white off and then it stares at me from the side of the plate pulsating. Ok it doesn't pulsate, but you know what I mean. I think I like my eggs like you have yours. Of course sometimes there's nothing like an overdone easy over with crispy bits on it! Here we don't tend to use the terms easy over and sunny side up. Instead we use stupid terms like soft, medium or hard. Generally only referring to the yolk. Actually the terms aren't that stupid, but the waitrons ask how you want it and then it always ends up being hard anyway... Ok so, low heat, lots of time … got it…

Jac was chuffed to hear it too (especially since I followed her around with a note pad while I picked her brains for her wisdom!). Heehee, I'm thrilled your daughter likes the drawings! There will be more kitty drawings on future notes! :) Hi Darren,

I had perfected the soft boiled egg but not the sunny side up my 9 year old dual citizen daughter appreciates, always opting for the "over easy" solution. Jac's slow cook low heat method is perfect! I put it in a medium skillet, with a bit of olive oil, then put the lid on, then down to low, turn on the boil for the soft egg - when the boil starts I hit the toast. When the toast is done, the boiled egg comes out and the sunny side one is perfect! Thank you, TFP and Jac, for your kind consideration of the rest of us that enjoy, and more often prepare, our food! ps - my daughter LOVES your kitty drawings! I have to put them on her hard boiled eggs now . . . I am an American with an Australian wife of 15 years, me being the head cook an chief bottle washer.
