thought it would be good to list the time it takes to boil the perfect egg in each resort so as to save on the inevitable boiling of six, and hoping one comes out right.

@ 1550 mtrs they usually take about 6 minutes hard white soft yolk a minute longer than at sea-level.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Tricky, as it also depends on the size of the egg, whether it was in the fridge prior to boiling, etc.

I cook them for 5 minutes 30 seconds in Monetier at 1500m, and 3 minutes 30 in Durham.

Has anyone considered how long it then takes post cooking to lift the lids off?...
The 'perfect' egg can go hard if unexposed for too long!

flangesax, I always undercook if the person about toeat the egg is still in the shower. I like my egg white barely set.

The trick is to run the freshly-boiled eggs under the cold tap for a few seconds - if you leave them boiling hot then they continue to cook while they're sitting on the table. Cool them down a wee bit and this slows down a lot!

It also releases the membrane making it easier to peel!

If you are staying in a hotel it is very important that you take with you a marker pen. Some fooker will always try to nick your nicely boiled egg from the bain marie machine thing so I would advise you always write your name and some insulting message on it to deter potential egg thieves

forget helmet wearing debates, and is boarding better than skiing etc etc..... this is where the snow holiday is at. The best place to ski is the place your at, the snow only goes from a little to a lot, soft to hard , from smooth to bumpy and the mountains go from rolling to steep the weather freezing to hot, cloudy to sunny, windy to still, and you just have to get on with it and do your thing with it... However,get your boiled egg right and everyday is a blue sky day.
Keep abreast with the thread as we need to iron out wether you should toast your soldiers ...

What a random thread. Of all the things I've ever done or wanted to do in a ski resort, boiling an egg is not one of them.
Are we running out of sensible things to discuss?

I've never understood why anyone would bother boiling an egg when poaching an egg is just as easy, takes loads less time and is far more satisfying to eat.
Boiled eggs are just rubbish.

There is an App on the iPhone for the perfect boiled egg - takes size, altitude, from the fridge/not from the fridge, etc into account  . Works every time!!! And cockadoodledoos when your egg is ready!

The only good thing about eggs; you get more room in early morning lift queue.
Stick with toast.

It also depends on how fresh the egg is from the hen. In fact eggs that a few days old boil more successfully than those which hit the water within minutes of being free from the hen. However, this may not be a problem unless you have managed to Smuggle Hilda the hen through customs.

I shall be pre-boiling the water and popping the egg in for 4.5 minutes (900 meters)...

Iski, yes, I didn't know about "egg etiquette" either. (Luckily I don't eat them or I might have got into trouble). It should definitely be mentioned in the "I'm going skiing for the first time, what do I need to know?" threads!
