Suppose that an egg is fully cooked when the temperature at the center reaches 70 C. Initially the egg is taken out of the fridge at 4 C and placed in the boiling water at 100 C. Since the egg shell is very thin assume that it quickly reaches a temperature of 100 C. The protein in the egg effectively immobilizes the water so the heat conduction is purely conduction (no convection).
