Save gas, save water!

1. Room-Temperature Eggs

   1. Grab a pan with a lid and add about 1 cm of water.
   2. Place the eggs inside, cover with the lid, and turn the heat to medium-high. Start a 4-minute timer immediately.
   3. Once the timer goes off, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the residual steam for another 4 minutes.

2. Chilled-Eggs

   1. Grab a pan with a lid and add about 1 cm of water.
   2. Place the eggs inside, cover with the lid, and turn the heat to medium-high. Start a 5-minute timer immediately.
   3. Once the timer goes off, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the residual steam for another 4 minutes.

The normal way

1. 1. Bring water to a boil. (Ensure there is enough water to cover the eggs completely.)

   2. Once the water is boiling, turn down the heat a little, and gently place the egg into the pan.

   3. Start a 7-minute timer.
