2 mins 50 secs with a bit of salt in the water- no idea why, my mum used to do it.
Also use the lid of a baby bottle for an egg cup- it works great

She probably wrote it after some generous "liquid" corporate hospitality at a Canaries game! :rolleyes: :rotfl:There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...0 -

All my eggs come out hard boiled
