Method

  1. Place the eggs in a pan. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and place the pan on a high heat.
  2. When the water is almost boiling, gently stir the eggs and set a kitchen timer for one of the timings below.
  • 3 minutes for really soft boiled yolk and set white     
  • 4 minutes for slightly set yolk and set white     
  • 5 minutes for firmer yolk and white     
  • 6 minutes for hard boiled with lightly soft yolk     
  • 7 minutes for firmly hard boiled
