I would still say you are overcooking your soft boiled eggs. But we all
like what we like.

Even poaching does not achieve the level of cooking I prefer in a soft
boiled egg.

===========

I haven't boiled an egg in years. My favourite way to cook them ... I
choose a small frying pan to just fit the number of egg/s, put a lump of
butter in and just as it melts, I break the egg/s in. I put a 'see through'
lid over them and cook very gently just until the colour of the eggs change.
Done! When I say the colour changes, I just mean that opaque white film. The
white is just set and the yolk runny
