I just stick my eggs directly into the kettle.
- Four large eggs in the kettle
- Add cold water so they're fully covered
- Switch on kettle
- Once boiled, set a timer for six minutes
- After those six minutes, empty water, and fill kettle with cold water again to cool the eggs
You now have four soft-boiled eggs.
- unraveller 4y agoYou can set the timer at the start, if you are on 240volt in summer it takes 7m35s total to reach a boil and passively cook 4 large soft eggs. In winter it's around 8 minutes. before adding cold water for cooling, I also violently shake up the eggs in the flat bottomed kettle. You can use a fork to pierce them too, the idea is to crack the shells so a little cold water can seep in and make for easier peeling.
- timbit42 4y agoWhen do you switch off the kettle? Once boiled, or after the fix minutes?
- yakshaving_jgt 4y agoThe kettle switches itself off automatically once the water is near boiling point. At that point I start the timer, and leave the eggs where they are. When the timer stops, I replace the hot water inside the kettle with cold water for a minute or so, then drain, peel, and eat.
