Fresh eggs Boiling water

Saucepan

Never boil eggs that are not perfectly fresh; cook them some other way.

Put your fresh eggs, with their shells on, into a deep saucepan.

Fill the saucepan with water that is actually boiling, and see that the eggs are covered.

Take the pan from the stove and cover it. It may be brought to the dining room table, and the eggs will cook until you are ready to eat them.

Boiled eggs are better cooked in water that does not continue to boil; - but be sure that the water is boiling hard, when first poured over the eggs.

Three minutes will be enough for soft boiled eggs, fifteen for hard.

Serve at once in a covered dish, or wrapped in a clean table napkin.
