Two-Thirds Of Britons 'Do Not Know How To Boil An Egg'
LONDON, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- Hard boiling an egg is perhaps one of the easiest things to do. But, two-thirds of Britons do not know how to do it, a survey has revealed.
Researchers in Britain have carried out the poll and found that 69 per cent of those they questioned admitted that they struggle to cook a soft-boiled egg correctly.
What's more shocking is that 22 per cent said they do not know how long it takes to boil an egg, the Press Trust of India (PTI) quoted the survey as saying on Monday.
Even of those who claimed to know, 37 per cent still got it wrong, with almost one in ten reckoning an egg needs to be cooked for six minutes or more for a soft yolk.
Amazingly, three per cent thought it takes less than a minute to cook, the British media reported.
And, 22 per cent of those questioned for the survey admitted they struggle just to get the egg in the pan without the shell cracking -- often because they drop it in boiling water.
The survey of 1,500 people was carried out by British Lion eggs to mark the final of Eggs Factor competition, which is being held in London to decide the champion egg chef.
"It's worrying so many still haven't mastered the technique. A soft boiled yolk will take three minutes, for a slightly set yolk aim for four and a firm one will take five," a spokesman for British Lion eggs was quoted as saying.
