Can you solve this riddle?

Suppose you want to cook an egg for exactly three minutes. You have only a five minute hourglass timer and a two minute hourglass timer. Using these two timers, how can you boil the egg for exactly three minutes?

Tip both timers over at the same time. When the two minute timer runs out drop the eggs in and cook them until the five minute timer runs out!
