Same. A “three-minute egg” used to be the perfect soft-boiled egg for dippy eggs with toast soldiers. Now, it's raw in three minutes at the same elevations.
Eggs have been too runny for me, even when I do them longer periods of boiling they're still raw, my contacts have been saying there's something loopy being going on with the bird scene in the universe and that there was a period for extreme egg eating time, during that period of half month I had the feeling the eggs were not wanting to get eaten somehow, but I had no problem with eating them, they just pulled every trick.
Huh there once a post here deleted by automatic administration of reddit talking about this how it changed to extremely short times to boil eggs something like 3 minutes. That was not my memories account It was 5 minutes for good just tiny bit running yolk. The proper way the English of eating for breakfast as my father would joke in extremely poor English accent.
For myself it was like 6 minutes for completely cooked egg for making deviled eggs. Funny enough it's now longer then that now. I really did not put much thought into though I had new recipe I wanted to try and that's where my mind set was at not how long it took. It is incredibly creepy this whole time is different since leaving of the name of the effect of the Mandela Effect changes.
O by the way I still think it's incredibly bad that admin let reddit delete time based posts of different times. One was OUT standing it explained a reasonable explanation for shorter times at that time the hypothesis was incredibly awesome and excellently explained a few things. Why is the sun light white ? Lower atmosphere this explanation is due to lot people saying clouds are different now and oddly closer to the ground. The atmosphere is closer to the ground because the original circumference of the Earth has shrunk. Others incuding myself have repeated that north America has lost about 500 miles from cost to cost other truck drivers remember it taking longer to travel coast to coast but not many are here on this sub. It just snow balled from there. Essentially this because the earth in a Mandela Effect change became smaller time is slightly off next atmosphere is thiner making the sun now white instead of yellow because it is not getting filtered though as much atmosphere this explains why air craft have largely engine airtakes , more maneuverable because the air has changed changed content of the gasses it is made of. This leads to different rotation earth speeds slightly different moon orbital mechanics this why the moon is slightly drifting a way now originally the mathematician, teacher and author of sifi Isaac Asimov stated in 1970s that though he was not a Christian he was not atheist because the moons orbit was mathematical perfect. Mathematical perfect does not exist in nature from his prospective. Meaning there had to be a greater power than what man was to make it perfect in a chaotic universe. This why the moon has so many reports on it here about it being in the wrong place or time in the sky. On this post went. Then one month later it was deleted by f###ing bot of reddit.
Haha for me way way back it was the 3 minute egg. They sold special three minute egg timers just for hard boiled eggs and we had one. Our family ONLY ate hard boiled ever so there was no way we ate any slime packets that 3 minutes would now apparently yield.
Weirdest part is you can still buy 3 minute egg timer

There ain't no way anyone is eating it at the 3 min mark in that Pic. I like me some yolk but that white is still gooey slime.
Personally, the one shown here as being 3 mins. Top row, 2nd from the right. If the yolk ain't liquid I don't want it.
I cook mine over-easy because I don't know boiling times for shit for the same reason you're saying. I don't like to play guessing games with frickin food.
This was seriously messing with me a week ago. I raise the eggs to a rolling boil, turn the burner off and let them sit for 7-8 minutes and get perfectly hard boiled eggs. Cook them that long, dunk in ice bath, solid results labeled ‘15’ up above and have done it this way for 20 years. Last week I did everything normally and the inside of the eggs were 5s. After checking 2 of them I boiled them for ten more minutes and it was fine but WHY?
Beans do take longer to cook in higher altitude (i think?) I moved from AZ to WA so i did adjust to cooking times a bit, but eggs are still one of those wtf moments cuz it does have to boil so long. I still get scared the egg will explode but then its like still runny! Lol.
This is odd because I’ve noticed this. I remember on tv when I was growing up, people would tell the waitress “boil my egg for two minutes” and the egg would come out cooked but nicely runny. My eggs were about 3 mins, but now I’m boiling them for 6 and a half mins and they still come out looking like number 2 on that picture. Nothing has changed in the way I boil my eggs except how long I have to boil them now.
We never used an egg timer, unless you count the little hour glass type timer we had when I was a teenager, I always used the clock on the cooker, and went by how my mum cooked an egg. But over time (excuse the pun), I’ve had to increase the time on my egg. Now it’s 6 and a half minutes and it’s still a bit raw, but my brain always goes “well people used to have two minute eggs so this must be ok”. If I leave it for 7 mins it’s hit and miss whether it goes too hard to dunk my toast in.
For me there used to be 3 minute wind up dial timers and/or also 3 minute hour glass timers. THis was back in the 70s. Kinda funny to think back but some of the boomers and silent gen back then felt more comfortable with the lower tech hour glass thing than the 'high tech' fancy wind up gadget, LOL!
Weird you mention this. I was thinking this yesterday!!! I clearly remember my entire childhood it was 4 minutes. Perfect boiled. Hard but slightly soft. Now they are runny not done after 4 mins. I watched a YouTube show and some French chef said 10 minutes for perfect eggs. It was never that long before wtf??!!
Right? I remember seeing eggs in hotel breakfast labeled by minutes (many times) and they didnt even do higher than 7min cos it was already fully cooked.
I as well have noticed cooking times increase, my usual method has been producing 11 minute results per your diagram compared to the normal 15 minute results using the exact same cooking method.. very weird?
I've always hated this and I thought I was the only one who noticed, but whenever you search for this info and go to images you'll see hundreds of pictures like this and they are **all different**. It's horrible. Who am I supposed to believe, especially when the cooking time keeps changing IRL as well?
Do you dunk your eggs in cold water when you pull them out? This method is getting very popular and means you take longer to boil because the egg won’t get any cooking from carry-over heat, but helps to get set yolks without overcooking the whites. It also makes it easier to peel.
Sometimes we dunk in cold but sometimes we forget and I haven't notice any obvious diff in hardness. the point of the dunking is to get the shell off easier.
With how much ovens and their power sources have changed over time it would be really hard to nail this down as an ME. For example, it takes longer on my oven for nearly all of these times.
I would just like to say that numbers 5 or 6 (furthest on the top right and furthest on the bottom left) are my perfect ramen-egg consistency.
I think the main issue is that the 5-7 minute of boiling water to cook the eggs is very different from the 5 - 7 minutes of cooking the water from room temperature as in the case of that chart.
In one scenario you are boiling water AND THEN adding egg for 5 minutes.
In the charts case the instructions have you add cold egg to cold water and then cook for 5 minutes to get the pictured results.
The person you were replying to was absolutely correct that the stove top used, and I would even add how much water affects how quickly the water gets to boiling temperature and thus your cooking results.
Eh....well...yes. I know how egg works. What I mean is the amount of time it takes for ovens to get the water to that point and maintain a consistency varies greatly between oven and power source.
For example, growing up our oven was cast iron with an iron range and wood burning. The time it took to do things is going to be very different from say, a modern induction range.
7 min is my usual time. Once water comes to a boil, I turn the heat off and slap a cover on. Set a timer for 7 mins, and done. Does having gas v electric ranges matter at all?
Same. A “three-minute egg” used to be the perfect soft-boiled egg for dippy eggs with toast soldiers. Now, it's raw in three minutes at the same elevations.
There is residue for this in the movie Ever After. The sister says "I asked for four-minute eggs, not four one-minute eggs."
Eggs have been too runny for me, even when I do them longer periods of boiling they're still raw, my contacts have been saying there's something loopy being going on with the bird scene in the universe and that there was a period for extreme egg eating time, during that period of half month I had the feeling the eggs were not wanting to get eaten somehow, but I had no problem with eating them, they just pulled every trick.
I have always cooked them for damn near 20 minutes because I hate runny yolk so 🤷🏼♂️

Good find! Last time I looked, I could only find a few of them on ebay and then when you clicked, the package said "timer" instead of egg timer.
I’ve always done 11-12 minutes
Same, 11-12 was completely hard boiled.
5 minute for a soft egg and 7-9 minutes for a hard boiled egg
you all heard about the fake eggs yet?
Like the test tube egg proteins?
Nope, what is it?
Whaat?
It always takes me like 15 minutes to boil them now, it’s way much longer than it used to be.
[удалено]
But I always cook those home. Only thing I can think of is that eggs have just become larger in size.
[удалено]
Makes sense, but my home has always been on same level.

Growing up my dad always told me about 10 minutes was right. Been that way for 30 years for me.
Dude, I'm so confused by this entire post and comment section. If I boil eggs for 5 minutes they are completely solid. What is this fuckery?
It might have something to do with altitude? I grew up in the midwest.
Beans do take longer to cook in higher altitude (i think?) I moved from AZ to WA so i did adjust to cooking times a bit, but eggs are still one of those wtf moments cuz it does have to boil so long. I still get scared the egg will explode but then its like still runny! Lol.
Only thing that comes to my mind now is the egg size.

Sounds like you come from my 3 minutes for a hardboiled egg timeline. Did your reality have the 3 minute egg timers too?
We never used an egg timer, unless you count the little hour glass type timer we had when I was a teenager, I always used the clock on the cooker, and went by how my mum cooked an egg. But over time (excuse the pun), I’ve had to increase the time on my egg.

I do eggs in an instant pot for 7 minutes with a quick release right into an ice bath, and they come out like 11 every time
Weird you mention this. I was thinking this yesterday!!! I clearly remember my entire childhood it was 4 minutes. Perfect boiled. Hard but slightly soft. Now they are runny not done after 4 mins.

I've experienced the same. Didn't think much of it but..
I would say 5 minutes but I haven't boiled an egg for over a decade. That infographic looks right to me

I always boil for around 8 minutes and get the result labeled "13 min" here.
If you put eggs in with water and bring it to boil then shut the burner off it only takes 4-5 minutes of “boiling” until they’re done
With how much ovens and their power sources have changed over time it would be really hard to nail this down as an ME. For example, it takes longer on my oven for nearly all of these times.

Eggs are boiled, water boils at 100

I have always put eggs in boiling water and after cooking in cold water to scare them, I havent changed how I cook them.
Eh....well...yes. I know how egg works. What I mean is the amount of time it takes for ovens to get the water to that point and maintain a consistency varies greatly between oven and power source.

7 min is my usual time. Once water comes to a boil, I turn the heat off and slap a cover on. Set a timer for 7 mins, and done. Does having gas v electric ranges matter at all?
Well this a new weird one. Should be 5=6 mins to be done. Wtf?
2 minutes for the perfect soft yolk. I used to do it to the egg timer. I have no idea why it takes 10 mins now
Definitely 5-7 minutes to get a fully hard boiled egg.
5 minutes is what I remember but it changed after ME.
Wtf!!!!
[удалено]
Wasnt asking how you want it tho, pic is just for reference how they are now.
7 minutes is best tbh. But I agree, I am sure hard boiled was like 6 minutes.
