1 Rinsing with water

To save water, a saucepan is best.

3. Put water on or boil it in kettle first

Before we can cook, we need to completely submerge the eggs. For an egg to cook properly, there should be about half an inch of water above it. We can boil the water on gas or via induction, or in a kettle. The latter is much faster. It is also useful to add salt to the water, which keeps the eggshells whole despite the tapping of the eggs in the saucepan.

4. Set up with boiling water for a few minutes

First of all, put on a pan with enough water. The eggs should be completely under the water. When the water is boiling, turn down the heat a little and, using a spoon, add the eggs to the pan. If necessary, you can add a little dash of vinegar or a pinch of salt so your eggs don't crack while cooking. Set your cooking timer for a soft, medium or hard-boiled egg. When the timer rings, very carefully pour off the water and 'shock' the egg by opening cold water over it. Serve immediately.
