Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This isn't a very good guide, since it doesn't even take egg sizes into account. As a fan of egg, these timings are completely wrong for Large Lion Grade A eggs.

That blimmin' witch doctor lied to me again!!!
You'd think I'd learn my lesson after those magic beans...

Also anyone living above sea level would have severely undercooked eggs. I live almost a mile up and pasta takes two minutes longer to cook so i assume eggs do too.

Pretty sure most people are above sea level. But I'm no sea doctor.

Most of humanity lives on the coastlines. So technically yes. In any functional manner, no.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Yes! Very good point. I used to use an app for my location, which would adjust the timing based on my elevation from sea level - even though it's not much where I am, the adjustments certainly made a difference!

I would link it but it is now riddled with ads, and has a generic name of 'egg timer' ._.

I'm not really sure such niche accounts need to be taken into consideration on every single guide to how to cook food.
