As well, she always used to break a matchstick in half and put the 'headless' bit in the water - she said it stopped the eggs from cracking in the first place.

I couldn't find any matchsticks, so I lit a 2x4 on fire, and dropped it in the water.
Anyone for egg drop soup?

MMMMMMM am hungry now :(

Love 'em.  I don't have them often as they are not a good thing for my waistline (and my cardiovascular system, I hear )

If you're in in the UK and like scotch eggs check out my mate's award winning stall: www.eatmypies.co.uk he makes a range of the (the black pudding ones are incredible) and they're all stuffed with love.

A hard boiled egg is essentially an overcooked egg, so your initial technique was fine Susan, sounds like you just needed to give them a bit longer if they were larger than normal.

There are no hard and fast rules for preparing eggs and tell that it is ready. Only you have to follow the ideal procedure of cooking to get the desired result.
Gently place a layer of eggs in the saucepan
Keep enough space between them
Pour water into the saucepan up to an inch above egg
Put some salt to avoid cracking of shells
Heat it up for about 12 – 15 minutes
Turn off the burner
