Eggs?... I'll say this much: we haven't bought eggs for five years as my brother has eight cooperative girls who produce enough eggs to supply he and his wife, our family and a few others. These chooks just wander around the yard all day and then back in the coop of a night time. The difference in flavour (and yoke colour) of what they lay is amazing.
Boiling? I actually put the eggs in the water when it's still cold and adjust the timing from there. We also cut the flame (gas cooker) early and let them stand in the hot water, saving us a lot of energy.
So, I assume Delia let you down? Silly tart she is!
