How to boil an egg

Even boiling an egg requires method if we are to do it properly.

When a boiled egg has an unattractive green-grey color around the yolk, you should know that this means you are dealing with a badly boiled egg.

You can avoid this easily by following some very basic instructions.

See these instructions, following the photos order.

  1. Place the eggs in a pan, fill it with water to cover, season with salt and bring to the boil.

  2. Boil for one minute and remove from the heat.

  3. For a soft-boiled egg, leave in the water for 3 minutes and for a hard-boiled – but succulent – egg leave it for 5 minutes.

    If you boil eggs but do not plan to consume them immediately, cool them under running water. This prevents the yolk from getting overcooked.
