Method

  1. Lower the eggs into already-boiling water and cook for eight minutes for a set white and a barely-soft yolk.

  2. Cool them under the tap for a minute before peeling, which is what stops the shell taking the white with it.

Worth knowing

  • Into boiling water rather than from cold. It is the difference between peeling them and destroying them.
