Cooking the egg properly is the key, i like them to be cooked in a way so the yolks are still soft and squidgy, i dont like powdery yolks. So i will never recommend you to cook the eggs more than 4 mins. Check the written part for detail method.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
