Here's my collection of egg cups, (but I didn't get them thru BYC):

So if you guys don't use egg cups does that mean you'll dont eat soft boiled eggs that much? how do you manage it on your plate if you do? Just curious

What is a soft boiled egg?

Please don't laugh!

I always fix hard boiled eggs. Do you mean that you don't cook it all the way through?

For hard boiled eggs, I just put a few in a bowl and chop them up, or hand one to my kids. They sprinkle salt, and eat.

I'd like to see some BYC Mousepads in the store!

Soft-boiled eggs are also referred to as 3-minute eggs. That's where the 3-minute egg timer came from:

You boil them for 3 minutes (at sea level; longer at high altitude), put them in the egg cugs, whack off the top of the egg, and eat the rest right out of the shell.

Wow, Coopa, quite a collection! My Grandparents used similar ones. They immigrated from England when they were around 30 -- wonder if they brought them with.

I remember getting a bit of eggshell in my mouth as a kid, eating from them.

Thanx! I focused just on collecting egg cups with "figural" chickens. My Grandparents were from Germany - seems like all we ever ate were soft-boiled eggs in cups!

I think, at least here in the States, poaching eggs has replaced soft-boiling them.

Soft boiled eggs are cooked in the shell so the yolk is still runny...crack off the top of egg and dip with your toast.
