To Boil, start with pouring fresh cold water in your electric kettle and start it. Remember to use the exact amount of water needed for anything you will boil. Filling a kettle or pan with any extra cold water will only make the cooking time longer and waste more electricity. | To Boil, start with pouring fresh cold water in your electric kettle and start it.

Pick out a good sized saucepan that will fit the number of eggs you want to cook in one layer | Pick out a good sized saucepan that will fit the number of eggs you want to cook in one layer, it should have a tight fitting and undamaged lid. Do not fill icecold water in this pan, because you will only cool down the metal bottom and sides. Place your eggs gently in the pan, and pour little bit of tap water in the bottom. Place the pan on a burner/hotplate that is the same size of the bottom of the pan and turn on maximum heat when the water in the kettle is boiling. | ||
Take the kettle and slowly pour the hot water carefully into the pan with the eggs. Sometimes it can be useful to tilt the saucepan slightly towards you, so that the eggs will roll to your side and you can pour the hot water at the other side of the pan because pouring hot water on cool eggshells can crack or break them. | Take the kettle and slowly pour the hot water carefully into the pan with the eggs.
