Boiling Guide for Quail Eggs

If I search the internet for how long to boil a chicken egg I get plenty of results, but I don't get much information when I search for quail eggs instead. So I decided to try an experiment by myself.

Don't place the eggs in the pan until the water is boiling and only boil the eggs once they have returned to room temperature (if you use eggs fresh from the fridge then the eggs will crack when they're submerged in boiling water). When the eggs have boiled, make sure to cool them down quickly in cold water. Recipe by rape_moon
