Well chef Nelly is here to help!<\/p>\n<p>Read on for her fail proof, perfectly cooked soft to hard boiled eggs.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bring to a boil a saucepan of water with enough to cover the eggs plus 3cm more for evaporation.<\/li>\n<li>Always start cooking after water has been brought to a boil. This way it doesn\u2019t matter what cooking vessel is being used. The eggs will cook from boiling point.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce heat to simmer. Using a pair of tongs or a large spoon, gently place the eggs in the water. Reduce the heat to prevent eggs from bouncing around and cracking.<\/li>\n<li>Turn heat back up to a boil and set timer immediately and cook the eggs according to your preference.<br \/>\n\u2022 4 minutes: A gooey, runny white and yolk, great for dipping soldier toasts in!<br \/>\n\u2022 6 minutes: A very soft yolk and white, perfect for eggs served in an egg cup or smeared on toast.<br \/>\n\u2022 8 minutes: A soft yolk yet firm egg. Why not try the classic devilled eggs? Mix the slightly firmed yolks with your favourite sauce, spices and herbs, then place it back into the egg white.<br \/>\n\u2022 10 minutes: The beginning stages of a hard boiled egg, with just enough softness in the middle. Egg &amp; mayo sandwich anyone?<br \/>\n\u2022 12 minutes: A hard boiled egg with a fluffy yolk. How about a cauli and potato salad?<br \/>\n\u2022 14 minutes: Hard boiled egg with the firmest yolk and white. Some wouldn\u2019t have it any other way!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once the eggs have cooked, immediately place them in a ice water bath to stop them from over cooking and for easy peeling.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_607048597\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"659\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1-659x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Cookie 1hg 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1-659x1024.jpg 659w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1-386x600.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1-768x1194.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1-988x1536.jpg 988w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1-1317x2048.jpg 1317w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1-600x933.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cookie-1hg-1.jpg 1465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_607048597 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1851466349\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block;
