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.
