OT; Perfect boiled eggs

[john royce]

I'd be very interested in learning about how to do the perfect scrambled eggs !

[Chris J Dixon]

For me, perfect = soft and creamy. To achieve this, use a good thick-bottomed pan, apply gently heat, and keep stirring with a wooden paddle. For quite a while it seems nothing happens, then it starts to thicken and solidify quite fast.

Take it off the heat whilst it is still just a little more fluid than you want it, as the internal heat keeps it cooking whilst you are serving.

Enjoy.

Microwave.

Whisk with milk, full power for about 5-8 minutes.

Heston Blumenthal has a method involving microwaves, liquid nitrogen and CERN.

Ah, so that's what it is. I've been blaming the hens for years.

Are you sure that it should be the "pointy" end of the egg? I thought there was an air-filled void at the big end.
