Student Survival - How to boil an egg

[Jynx]

Hey there all you students!! Do you like food, of course you do, but what do you like more than food?? MONEY!! Thats right. I am often asked "James, what is the cheapest, tastiest, quickest, easiest thing i can have for dinner?". Well, that is a simple question, one that I cba to answer, so to make it more interesting I added one more factor. So what is the cheapest, easiest, tastiest, quickest thing i can have for dinner when I don't have a working hob!?

Well some of the quicker ones of you out there may have come up with cupa-soups or similar food in a packet but they all cost in excess of ?0.50!!!! Outrageous, no. The answer is a boiled egg and soldiers. Lets get the important stuff out the way first, cost. Egg(Sainsburys Economy) = ?0.08 and bread(Sainsburys Economy) < ?0.01 per slice. So as you can see your onto a winner there. Wait, I hear you cry "You need a hob to boil the water", well, your wrong. The answer is a kettle. Below find detailed instructions of how to cook boiled egg and soldiers with a normal, not modified, household kettle.

Phase 1

Fill kettle with at least 15cm of water.




Phase 2

Start kettle boiling.




Phase 3

Select egg for tonights dinner.




Phase 4

Find a suitable nonmetallic implement(safety first) to hold egg.




Phase 5

Cut slice of bread into soldiers and put on plate, decoratively. Please note, novelty egg cup not essential.

Phase 6

By now the kettle should be boiled, using the implement place egg in kettle and shut lid.





Phase 7

After 2 minutes have passed open lid and remove egg with the implement.


Phase 8

Re-boil the kettle and then repeat phases 6 and 7 again.


Phase 9

Remove egg and place in egg cup.




Phase 10

Remove top of egg with small spoon.




Phase 11

Thats it, thats the first meal you have cooked in you kettle. Enjoy the fruits of your labour




Until next time I bid you fair well and enjoy your eggs
