My father gave me this little musical egg cooker, you boil it with the egg in the pan and it plays 3 different tunes to let you know if the eggs are soft, medium or hard boiled. It’s a fun little thing, but to be honest quite annoying after a while, and also a little lazy. Especially if making the perfect medium to soft boiled egg (my favourite) is actually very easy!
Ingredients
- Eggs (cold from the fridge)
- Bowl of ice water
Instructions
1
Bring a pot of water to the boil.
2
Carefully add the eggs cold from the fridge and boil for exactly 6.5 minutes.
3
When done place in bowl filled with water and ice cubes for a minimum of 2 minutes.
4
To peel I like to crack the shell all over by tapping it on a plate or chopping board.
5
Peel and serve warm.
Notes
You can use eggs straight from the fridge for this.
