The boffins have been busy.

Boiling an egg just as you like it has always been a hit and miss task.

Now, thanks to the boffins you will be able to get perfect results every time.

This thread is just ripe for a slew of ghastly puns isn't it?
I eggspect they'll start to pour in shortly.

I like mine hard yolked, cold, eaten with nothing more than salt and pepper.

I can't cook them. They always go wrong :(

I like making soldiers with little pepper smiley faces though.

I think boiling an egg to anyone's particular preference is the most difficult task in the kitchen and akin to producing the perfect souffle.

I like my boiled egg to have a cooked white, and a runny yolk, its that timing thing that always gets me, a second too short and you get a snotty one, and a second too long and you get a hard yolk......

I'd settle for the hard yolk rather than the snotty egg any time :)

As it's a good 40 minute walk, I think I'll sleep on the couch, then make you breakfast. Will be even more awkward if I move to Manchester. :(

boil a pan of water, set the microwave for 3 and a 1/2 mins, pop in a tablespoon of salt to the water (to stop eggs cracking), add eggs, start microwave, pop in toast, when time is up remove eggs from water and serve, perfect every time.

I prefer to eat my boiled egg. I attempted to wear one like a shoe but it crumbled at the first step.
