By:
It takes 6 minutes to produce an egg that is not too runny, here. Must be something in the water.

Unfortunately, Aunty, you will N achieve this. You appear to want to achieve a standard result (the perfect soft-boiled egg).This will not be achieved by constantly introducing variable parameters...different sizes of egg, different size of pan, different start temperatures, 'getting things started' etc. etc.
You need to develop a strict procedure which is repeated accurately upon each, and every, occasion. Alternatively, you could try developing a liking for hard-boiled...much easier to achieve!  |

He should employ Chas' chef and be prepared to sacrifice two eggs out of three. That might work.

I'm pleased to report that I have a token result to declare
Method by Charwell produce a decent result with an egg size "medium" but only by visual assessment. It was actually slightly overdone so will try 2 mins and 30 secs next time. Probably need to factor in the pan size and amount of water used. I used the smallest of four, and egg just covered. Clearly, boiling several will use less water, so therefore will hit boiling point quicker. |

It's a story you see Coach, so it needs an introduction other than "Once upon a time". |

just simply say i have trouble boiling eggs Aunty -it's not a disgrace -we won't love you any less
 eggs are tricky - for the record i can't even make toast  |
|
By:
Making toast has never been as good as sitting in front of the fire with a toasting fork.
Not only did it cook more evenly, but there was the added excitement that it could fall off, when the holes got too big! |

By:
i used to love toasting in front of the coal fire - makes lovely toast too
|
|
By:
tried it on the portable gas fire but it was never quite the same

Toasters.....after so many years, why can't somebody produce one that toasts all the bread evenly, and all over.
Apart from the conveyor type in hotels they are all the same (to my knowledge). Strips of wire at 20mm intervals over an asbestos type mount. What we need is "The New Dyson Toaster".....Toasts the bread evenly by turning it, or the heat element. |

A most cracking read. WD all.

By:
