1. Put the eggs in a saucepan with cold water. Be sure to leave three cm of water above the eggs . Do not put too many eggs in the pan at the same time.

2. Place the pan on the stove over high heat.

3. When the water begins to boil slightly around the eggs, put a lid on the saucepan and move it to a low heat or a trivet.

4. And now start the timer! Follow the cooking times listed above to get an egg exactly the way you want it.

Cooking time

Three minutes: the whites are slightly viscous. The yolks are totally liquid.

Four minutes: the whites are now set, but still soft and supple. The yolks are still runny, but a little firmer than before.

Six minutes: The whites are still supple, but firmer. The yolks are a nice even color and well maintained.

Ten minutes: the whites are now totally firm but the yolks are still slightly creamy.

Fifteen minutes: you now have a completely solid hard-boiled egg.

Once cooked, immerse the eggs in very cold water for 1 min. Tap them gently on the edge of the sink to crack them and peel them easily.
