    I can assure all the commenters that runny eggs are absolutely delicious! I'm making some for myself this morning. Everyone I know has a different way of doing them. Personally I boil for one minute then let the eggs sit in the warm water off the heat for 5 minutes. Perfect yolk but firm white. Got to have fresh bread for the "soldiers" though, with plenty of butter. Its not a meal you sould eat every day ;-) But its quick and tasty. The vinegar firms up the white of the egg immediately if the egg cracks, so it does not all run out of the egg. The salt if for the same reason you add slat to most things you have to boil (i.e. dried pasta,) it makes the water boil at a slightly higher temperature and some say faster, but it all depends on the amount of salt you add. (It also raises the freezing point of water, which is why we salt icy roads.) I urge thos people who say "ewwww!" to try this before they pass judgement. After all, as my Mum always said... "How can you know you don't like something unless you try it?" Not sure my mothers logic entirly works. I have never eaten sewerage but I am fairly certain I won't like it. Anyway, off to make eggs. Bye people!

    That's disgusting. What a waste of good eggs.

    Er - why boil so much water??? This is just a waste of energy and takes more time to boil. Take just an inch (2 cm) of water, but close the pan with its cover. Wait until the water boils. Carefully add the eggs, cook for four minutes with slightly reduced heat (water must still go on boiling). Gives you a perfect result. And the eggs won't crack either, because they won't jump around that way and because you can add them to the water easily with your fingers.

    If you add eggs to a pan of boiling water for three minutes (and how full was that pan!?) you get two things: eggs that are in danger of cracking and egg white that's runny.
