Although I am frequently gifted a half dozen duck eggs I have never boiled one and have not the faintest clue how long is long enough. Can you share your method? Sure I could Google it but I know you have so much experience with Mr. eggs that I trust you more than just Google on most things.
Ok. I start with room temperature* eggs which I put into cold water* and bring to the boil. When it is boiling I set my timer for 6 minutes. When it bleeps, I lift them out and run them under the cold tap until I can handle them enough to peel them (I do have asbestos fingers).
That gives me the eggs pictured. If I want a softer yolk, but still set white, maybe 5 minutes is enough.
*My room temperature and cold water is probably warmer than yours. Also, I never, ever keep my (or anyone else's) eggs in the fridge. Nor do the stores or market vendors.
