      I don’t think you could burn an egg while trying to boil it… And in the microwave it would just explode!
      Frying an egg though, that’s when you can burn it within minutes! Not fun T_T

      I’ve no idea. I’m very bad at cooking, so my partner does it. I also don’t like eggs.

      Hmm, if you were frying it? That would be about 4-5 minutes I think, depending on how hot your pan was!

      Well I’ve burnt fried eggs very quickly in about 2 minutes if the oil and pan is hot enough

      I don’t think you can burn an egg. This is similar to another question I have been considering about can you melt paper.

      4 minute to soft boil an egg
      3 minutes to poach and egg
      1 – 2 minute to scramble.
