How to make the perfect boiled egg for every occasion.

Dhruv Baker explains the finer details for cooking perfect boiled eggs every time.

Place in the eggs into a pot of cold water and then turn the heat on to bring the water to the boil. If you place the eggs into a pot of hot, boiling water they will most likely crack.

For a:
Soft boiled egg with a set white and runny yolk, perfect for breakfast – 3 minutes
Firm yolk for spreading on toast – 6 minutes
Salad eggs with a slightly soft centre yolk – 8 minutes
Hard boiled egg for mayonnaise or a sandwich filling – 10 minutes
