Loose Tea
I'm at me dads, and it is the only place I can recall visiting where we still make a pot of tea using loose tea, not bags. I really can't think of anywhere I go where that is still the case. Which is daft, as tea strainers are not hard to use, and it is much easier to use just the right amount...

But you said use cold water anyway? Make your mind up.
Anyway, I tried this a couple of times, substituting a coffee mug for the recommended tea cup and it didn't really work. Added egg very gently, then tried again with egg first then trickling the water in. Both times the yolk was pleasant but the white didn't surround it and parts of it broke off comepletely. Eggs weren't fresh out of a hen's cloaca but bbf 11th August so not ancient either. 800w microwave btw.

The water heats up in the microwave. As I said, maybe this is a bit advanced for you.
Yeah, Sticklebricks more your level.

Well your instructions followed to the letter (apart from the bit about the tea cup) don't produce the promised goods so I'm left wondering if your proven inability to distinguish between two common items of kitchenware suggests further inaccuracies in your 'recipe'. It could be a pint of milk in an air fryer for all we fucking know.

OK are you ready to try my version now?
Splash of boiling water in a cappucchino cup, microwave for 30-40 seconds, depending on wattage of microwave. MIne is 1000 watts so I usually do 30-35 seconds for a large sized egg.
There is a bit of trial and error involved, but once you have your formula, you can turn out perfect eggs every time.

My bad for assuming a basic level of competence among the board users, I shall try to remember that some people are more simple than others.

Coddling eggs without an egg coddler
I appreciate that the older Urbanites will know these items as a 'pipkin' and not the 'coddler' as us under 40's do but interested to know if we are still coddling or not? If people are coddling then are they using a proper coddler or simply a small glass bowl? If using a glass bowl is the...
