Cook’s Notes
Eggs Over Easy
Get the right kit for cooking perfect
eggs however you like them in the morning
E
ggs are one of cooking’s miracle ingredients. Self-contained,
nutritious, cheap and long lasting they are at the centre of all
sorts of essential recipes from mayonnaise to cake. But no one should
ever underestimate their presence at breakfast time either. Whether
boiled, poached, scrambled or fried, there are few other foods that lift
your morning and set you up for the day like an egg or two.

Boiled
Anyone can boil an egg but getting it perfect
requires care and attention. Also, a good timer.
The Eddingtons Perfect Egg Timer, because
it sits in the pan with your eggs and changes
colour, is good for taking the guesswork out of
getting them the right level of runniness for
your soldiers. If you’re put off of having eggs due
to the morning rush, try a dedicated egg cooker
that can make them as easy as toast or cereal.

Fried
The fried egg can be a lifesaver
if you’re feeling the effects of the
night before. A good non-stick
pan is essential for cooking your
egg properly without sticking
and getting it out of the pan with
beautifully glossy whites and
sunny yolks intact when finished.
For Instagram-worthy results, a
pair of egg rings will keep this
most photogenic of ingredients
looking symmetrical and perfect.

Poached
Poaching an egg remains a much-
disputed cooking technique with
all sorts of whispered secrets
involving whisking the water and
adding vinegar. Nice fresh eggs
are probably the most important
factor though. To further reduce
the chances of problems in the
pan, use these Poachpods to keep
them safe and neat and or use a
dedicated poacher for fail-safe
results.
Scrambled
The secret to scrambled eggs is
to keep stirring. A good spatula
helps. Don’t underestimate the
importance of the pan in the process
either. A good thick base will get
to temperature more evenly and
retain the heat better, essential for
getting your scrambled egg to the
right consistency and avoiding the
dreaded rubberiness.
