INGREDIENTS

Free range eggs
Fresh cracked Pep pepper
Nice salt of choice 

METHOD

Follow the method below and after doing it a few times you'll be able to cook exactly the boiled eggs you want without even thinking about it.

1. Take a saucepan and half fill it with cold water from the tap. Gently lower the eggs into the saucepan. Place the pan over a medium heat.

2. When the water reaches a simmer, start the timer so you can precisely time the cooking process. If you gently stir the eggs in a clockwise direction, the movement of the water will help centre the yolks.

3. Simmer the eggs in the saucepan for the length of time that suits your boiled eggs preference. 

Simmer the eggs for 4 minutes for runny yolks.

Simmer the eggs for 5 minutes for semi-firm yolks and hard whites.

Simmer the eggs for 8 minutes for well cooked, hard boiled eggs.

4. Use a large spoon to remove the eggs from the water.

5. Cool the eggs by running them under cold tap water for 30-60 seconds or placing them in a bowl of iced water.
