Goose Egg : - Boiled Egg

[josaphine32]

I got given a couple of goose eggs, I don't think I can find a bigger enough boiled egg holder ,but how long do I need to boil it for, so that it is soft but not raw but not hard boiled, I think there will be enough for you lot as well, when in got it i told my daughter the ducks layed it, gullable or what she thought they had.

About 7 - 8 minutes should do it. Depends on how big it is.

One way of figuring it out is to weigh the egg, compare that to a hen's egg that you would boil for 3 minutes to soft boil. If the goose egg is three times the size that would give you 9 minutes.

I do love a goose egg. Tons of runny yolk... You'll need a whole squadron of soldiers to dunk!

My husband loved goose eggs. I used to boil them for around 8 to 10 minutes according to how big they were or how firm you want them. You need a very large egg-cup - I used a small cup with paper towels stuffed in the bottom. They have a season so make the most of them now.

How the hell could anyone eat a hole one, it is massive, thanks I will go between 8 and 10 minutes, x

I usually end up only eating the yolk as they are enormous!

You are right josaphine. He was very greedy, in my opinion!! I used to laugh at him with this huge egg, but he enjoyed it.

He often threatened to get an ostrich egg, but never did.

Personally, I prefer goose and duck eggs are better scrambled or for making omelets
