14 years ago when my mum in law had my little brother in law (who is now taller than me!) my father in law was in charge of buying the Christmas presents.

Ours was an electric egg boiler ... we said thank you very much while inwardly pulling a face but in fact it has been fantastic and definitely one of the best prezzies we've ever got.

You pierce each egg with the little gadget that comes with it then sit up to seven eggs in the holder ... measure the correct amount of water in to the little cup depending on how many eggs and whether you want soft boiled, medium boiled or hard boiled then pour that in to the boiler ... pop the lid on ... turn it on and Bob's your uncle.

It's SO fab that ours has just kicked up it's heels after loyal service and hubby went in to blind panic but luckily they are readily available now from places like Lakeland or Argos.

Perfect eggs every time ... no thought required ... just right for me image
