No.1 A Boiled Egg

Well thought would start with what many would think is the simplest thing in the world to cook, but as with so many things there is a certain art to it. .. and thought this would be of particular help to those lady members who are ill-versed in matters of the kitchen.

You will need one egg, one saucepan and one clock or egg-timer.

1. Place egg in saucepan and cover with water.
2. Bring to boil over a medium heat.
3. Remove saucepan from hob as soon as boil is reached and leave to stand.
4. Start timing, for soft boiled eggs time for three minutes.
5. Drain off water and serve with buttered toast.

But wouldn't the size of the egg, the voluime of water and the outside temperature make a difference? :)

I am sure that Figgy and BitterCowFromWestMidlands don't eat eggs, too much cholesterol!

What if the egg is stored in the fridge? Is the cooking time the same as an egg NOT stored in a fridge?

I'd say, for a runny yolk and a 'set' egg white;(from fridge); have the soldiers at the ready :wink:

1- Bring the water to the boil

2- Place egg in water and boil for 5 minutes.

3- When time is up, remove from heat and cool under running tap water for a few seconds. (this stops the egg further cooking/hardening due to the heat.)

4- Nob titeppa. :lol:

What kind of saucepan do you recommend for this operation? A heavy bottom or Teflon perhaps?
