I have just got off the phone to a friend of mine who is in a terrible state. She has tried everything but alas to no avail. She has a problem with regards to boiling eggs. She likes soft eggs , slightly runny but not undercoooked. However she has great difficulty in achieving this. I have tried to help her on numerous occasions but i dont feel i am qualified to help her as my eggs always turn out slightly hard . Has anyone else got this problem and if so have they any advice that i can pass on to my frustrated friend?

The sales are on -- purchase an egg-cooker from John Lewis. Since ours entered the house a year ago, minor adjustments to account for out-of-the-fridge versus long-since-room-temperature aside, we have never had an unsatisfactory egg. NEVER. Easily a contender with our French press for best poncy kitchen appliance ever.

(Problem hinted at by Alex K) Does she keep the eggs in the fridge? if so, the temperature of the fridge may be too cold and/or inconsistent, consequently the eggs take a different amount of time to heat to the point that they start to cook. Now don't do this at home (as it might be dangerous boys and girls) but I keep eggs in the cupboard and never have a problem.


Electric rings can be a bit slow to heat a pan of water and cooking does start before boiling. Is she using gas or electric?


Are they the same size eggs? There is a weight/time ratio

    • Smallish job, would suit a sole trader rather than a Lordship Lane Carpets type company...
    • Sorry this just didn’t seem to belong to request a tradesperson. any good experiences? Not a chiropodist!
    • Crofton Park (borough of Lewisham) has a community notice board which as well as listing councillors is full of notices about local community activities of all sorts and for all ages. It is clean and tidy and only has one small fly poster (attached with one very small piece of tape, and easily removed - I didn't though). Crofton Park also has a lovely little community garden alongside the station, full of flowers, with lots of things of interest to kids,  and also obviously lovingly maintained. I don't know who the land belongs to - possibly the station, though access is via the adjoining road. If Lewisham council/Crofton Park residents can maintain a community notice board, why can't Southwark Council/East Dulwich residents?
