Boiled Eggs and Cracked Shells
Asked on 2 Jan 2017 by James Cairns
I have used Delia's boiled egg method with success, but sometimes the eggs crack when lowered into the boiling water, even though they are at room temperature. Any tips for stopping this?

Hello,
You can use a dressmakers pin (or you can get gadgets that do the same thing!) to make a tiny hole in the more rounded end of the egg,
We show this in the cookery school for hard-boiled eggs (just before 6 minutes into the lesson).
