The phrase “they’re such a bad cook they can’t boil an egg" is pretty misleading. It’s not that straightforward to cook the egg just how you like it time and time again - unless you follow this method! Everyone has a theory about how to cook them but I have found that this is the most consistent. – Dhruv Baker
