07 July 2009 - Ever wonder how to make yourself a perfect breakfast with toast bread and half boiled egg? I will share with you my secret about how i make my perfect half boiled egg every single time without fail. Ok here is the secret, if you normally take honey you will remember the big tub of honey which has a perfect size to fit about 4 eggs in it. THat is exactly what we are going to use.
Now there is a lil or simple re engineering and redesign of this honey tub is needed to make it work perfectly. step 1, get a very sharp knife and cut 2 lines about 2 cm long at the bottom of the tub to provide a small leakage hole for the boiling water to leak out and thats it.
PREP:
- Place 2 raw eggs in the redesign honey tub
- boil some water that will be enough to cover the eggs when poured into the tub
- once water is boiling with bubble, turn off the heat and pour the hot water in the honey tub
- wait for about 10 mins with a small glass bowl just large enough to cover the honey tub.
** there is two purpose of the glass bowl which is VERY VERY important, purpose 1 which is to trap the heat in the tub to boil the egg and purpose number two which is to heat up the bowl which will be later used for your 2 perfect eggs.
- Now if after 10 mins the egg is over or under cook, you will need to adjust the timing to get your perfect egg.
** 10 mins is a guide line as the 2 x 2 cm line cut by each individual is different, remember the end result of the water level reducing should be very slow
Well hope you enjoy this new egg cooking device. :)
