Point up, think there's less chance of spilling yolk.

It's gotta be point up otherwise it's face down in the cup which is just totally wrong. I thought everybody knew that  ::)

point down, if it's a big egg wouldn't be stable balanced on a fat bottom  ;D  (s'ppose it depends on egg cup though - maybe my old ones were made for smaller eggs.

Well we make and sell egg cups and after exstensive research we make our egg
cups so that the egg sits point up (or down).

Point down.
  • otherwise it may roll off
  • more room for the spoon to come in without breaking the side and spilling the yolk.
  • more room for the soldier to come in ditto.

And the other question that goes alongside, cut off with knife or crack and peel - for me, is crack and peel. :)

But these days I am much much much more likely to have poached, or hard boiled, or in a sandwich.  Boiled egg and soldiers is for when you are ill, chicken soup for the other meal  :unwell:
