As we all know, boiling the perfect egg can be as difficult as putting toothpaste back in the tube - or is it?
Picture this; you set everything up perfectly for a nice runny yolk, you have everything laid out, the soldiers are nice and straight, you're armed with your favourite egg cup and you've found a spoon small enough to fit inside the egg. So far so good, eh? Wrong! You go give the egg a tap with the spoon and it breaks because the egg is harder than rock. Guess what? There is no need to despair, with my fantastic egg boiling tips; your hopes of the perfect boiled egg needn't evaporate with the boiling water.
The following tips are based on boiling an egg from scratch in a pan of cold water, which is subsequently brought to the boil.
