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