He then added a large free range organic egg to the pan, by placing it on a slotted spoon.

Oliver then dipped it in and out two to three times before placing it on the bottom of the pan.

For a soft boiled egg he recommends five-and-a-half minutes.

Semi soft boiled ones will need seven-and-a-half-minutes.

Hard boiled eggs will need a whopping eleven to twelve minutes in the water, as reported by What’s The Jam.

The chef finished it off by adding a pinch of salt to his ‘humble boiled egg’.

Members of the public called the chef out for his routine.
