How to:

Boil the perfect egg

Place room temperature eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water, covering the eggs by two centimetres. On a medium to high heat bring to a boil. Turn the heat down. Proceed as follows:

  • For soft-boiled eggs, leave the eggs to stand in hot water for one to two minutes.
  • For medium-boiled eggs, leave the eggs to stand in hot water for two to three minutes.
  • For hard-boiled eggs, leave the eggs to boil for seven minutes. Remove and place in bowl of ice water to prevent the yolk discolouring.
