    12 minutes sounds like way too long :p. I boil my eggs for 7 minutes or so. Also cool them down fast after you're done boiling them, because the heat inside them is enough to make them keep "boiling" even after you've taken them out of the water, and that can lead to the green stuff.

    I cook mine in my microwave! The stove is wayyyyy to far from my room.

    I'll throw 3 eggs in a ceramic bowl and fill with enough water to cover them, them microwave for 20 minutes on half power. They come out fairly soft this way, but I loooove them soft!

    Microwaves are the way of the future, guys. D:

    I 'sploded the first egg I tried microwaving. A 4 minute lesson why not to use full power! But, the room smelled sooooo good afterward! Ohh, I love eggy smell~

    "half power" on a microwave oven is kinda... fuzzy :p, because many microwaves have a higher max power output than others ;)

    I think my microwave oven is like 1000 watts, but i prefer to boil them the regular way anyway, plus i've got an item i can put into the water that will visually indicate how well boiled my eggs are.
