      There is a great debate and many points of view on how to boil the perfect egg. However, there are a few points that all the experts agree on:

      • Always cook a fresh egg and one that is at room temperature (not straight out of the fridge).

      • Use a small pan, so that the eggs do not have room to move.

      • Start with cold water and only just cover the eggs by 1cm.

      • Always use a kitchen timer avoid using your watch or clock.
