Bring a pan of water to boiling point and place the eggs directly from the fridge into the pan.

Set the heat on low-medium.

The water should boil gently so that the eggs do not break during cooking.

Tips: how to cook an egg without breaking it

For medium-sized eggs, set the cooking timer as follows:
– soft yolk: 3 to 4 minutes
– soft: 5 to 6 minutes
– hard: 8 to 10 minutes

Reduce the cooking time by about one minute for room temperature eggs or smaller eggs. Increase the cooking time by one minute for larger eggs.
