How to Boil an Egg

How to boil an egg

Have you ever wondered how to boil an egg? If so, then read on and we shall tell you how to.

Firstly, place the eggs into a small saucepan, cover them with cold water (around 1/2 inch above the eggs should be sufficient). Place the pan on a high heat. As soon as the water reaches boiling/bubbling point, reduce the heat so that the water is simmering.

Set your timer immediately and go off the following recommended times for the egg of your choice:

  • 3 minutes for a soft-boiled egg
  • 5 minutes for a white and yolk both set with only a little bit of softness in the centre

Boiling an egg really is that simple. Enjoy.
