Poached: difficult level = easy.  

Anyone with “Eggs Benedict” can make them for you.

Hard Boiled: difficulty level = medium.

Most establishments have these already made for salads (easy) but it is possible (provided it is earlier in the day) to make hard-boiled eggs as well.  Less concern with timing.

Medium Boiled: difficulty level = hard.

You’d think it wouldn’t be so dang difficult, but apparently IT IS.  This is the way I like my eggs – so much so that it’s a default. About seven minutes give or take in already boiling water, and that’s it. Still…it’s a challenge.

Ninja Style: difficulty level = nigh impossible.

Downright sneaky little buggers (and dangerous) but the BEST preparation I know. Worth the struggle.
