This. My eggs never have a green ring. Just make sure the ice bath is ready when you take the eggs out.

Same method, but let sit for 14 minutes is perfect. Yellow with no gray or green, but perfectly cooked, not "custardy." I also add a dash of white vinegar to the water to make them easier to peel.
Fine with me! I just know that some people, like members of my family, genuinely don’t know that eggs don’t have to have the grey sulphuric ring, not realizing that it happens from overcooking.
Overcooking is gross. Undercooking is grosser. For the perfect egg, 14 minutes.
NP. No way. You're overcooking. That's nasty.
On my stovetop in my home, same method but 14 minutes leads to a perfect yellow center. No green/gray, but no DISGUSTING "custardy" or "jammy." Perfection.
+1. And that's also what my 50+ year old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook says to do.
Your cookbook probably has recipes for such monstrosities as pear cheese salad, sweet-sour tuna, liver loaf, and prune whip, plus dozens of cursed savory gelatins. Not sure why you’d take their word as gospel on making anything edible.
Are you this much of a B in real life or just to internet strangers? Why do you care so much about strangers eggs??

People with good taste! I don't see why everyone is so disgusted by it. Nobody balks at a runny fried egg.

My 10 minute eggs usually come out around that done. Perfect for me is slightly less without any pale yellow. That's what I mean by a custard texture.
