Try the freshness of eggs by putting them into a pan of cold water. Those that sink the soonest are the freshest. Never attempt to boil any egg without watching a clock or egg timer. Let the water boil before the eggs are put in. In three minutes an egg will boil soft, in four the white part is completely cooked, in 10 it is hard enough for a salad.

Drop nice fresh egg in boiling water with a pinch of salt, when the white has nicely set remove carefully on slice of toast bread and serve hot.
Deviled Eggs.
