You know sometimes your eggs have this awful greenish layer around them once you finish cooking it and you wonder what really went wrong. I’m going to show you how to make perfectly awesome boiled eggs every time with a few simple tips.

For 1 boiled egg:

1)      Make sure that you have enough water so that your egg is fully submerged in the water

2)      Take a vessel, add the water, add 1 tsp salt and keep it to boil

3)      Once the water is violently boiling, then only should you be adding your egg

4)      Take a spoon, put your egg on the spoon and gently lower it into the boiling salted water

5)      Put a timer for 9 minutes for Hard boiled, 4 minutes for soft boiled

6)      As soon as the time is up, switch off the gas, pour the water out of the vessel and pour cold water into the vessel to stop the cooking of the eggs immediately

Voila! You’re ready and set to impress and really say that you CAN boil and egg
