Sorry I wasn't clearer. I understand that leaving a cooked egg at 140 won't overcook it. I just don't know how long it will take that egg to reach 140 in the first place.  Some of the links posted in the thread have been helpful as to times, but they don't give the sizes of eggs, for instance, to reach those times. I'm guessing they don't use jumbo, so I'll have to just do trial and error at first, and keep my own logs.
