How do you know when an egg is done?

1. Visual Check:

* Boiled Egg:

* Soft-boiled: The white will be set, but the yolk will be runny.

* Medium-boiled: The white will be fully set, and the yolk will be slightly runny.

* Hard-boiled: The white and yolk will be fully set, and the yolk will be firm.

* Fried Egg:

* Sunny-side up: The white will be set, and the yolk will be runny.

* Over easy: The white will be set, and the yolk will be slightly runny.

* Over medium: The white will be set, and the yolk will be slightly firm.

* Over hard: The white and yolk will be fully set, and the yolk will be firm.

2. Texture Check:

* Boiled Egg:

* Gently shake the egg. If it doesn't move around, it's likely hard-boiled.

* Fried Egg:

* Gently poke the yolk with a spoon. If it's firm, it's done.

3. Time Check:

* Boiled Egg:

* Soft-boiled: 3-4 minutes

* Medium-boiled: 6-8 minutes

* Hard-boiled: 10-12 minutes

* Fried Egg:

* Sunny-side up: 2-3 minutes

* Over easy: 3-4 minutes

* Over medium: 4-5 minutes

* Over hard: 5-6 minutes

Note: Cooking times can vary depending on the size of the egg and the heat of the stove. It's always best to check the egg to ensure it's cooked to your liking.

Bonus Tip: For boiled eggs, you can also use an egg timer. There are many apps and devices specifically designed for this purpose.
