Poaching: boil 1.5 inches (40mm) water in a frying pan; add 5 g of salt and a teaspoon of vinegar. Crack an egg into a cup, inspect and pour into boiling water. Turn down the heat. Fold the white around the unbroken yolk with a spoon and continue to simmer for another 3-4 mins. Lift out with a draining spoon and serve on hot buttered toast.
Scrambling: beat the eggs well; add salt, pepper to taste and a dash of milk. Melt enough butter to cover the bottom of a shallow pan. Heat the eggs slowly, stirring constantly. Cook in a basin floating on boiling water, if preferred. Dish up when almost completely set, in about 5 minutes.
Fried: Melt enough fat to easily cover the bottom of (a|the shallow pan. Tip egg in gently and gather the whites around the yolks. When the white has solidified, baste the yolk to taste and remove whole with a draining spoon.
Baked Eggs: lightly grease an oven-proof dish and pour the egg(s gently into it. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and butter to taste. Bake in a medium oven and serve in the same pan after the whites have set to your liking.

Heat enough butter to cover the bottom of the frying pan. When the butter is hot, pour in the eggs; as it sets, lift up the handle and draw the set mixture up towards the handle, allowing the liquid egg to run down onto the hot pan. When all the liquid is set, tilt the pan forward and roll the omelette up. Serve immediately on a hot plate. It can be filled with almost anything, before being rolled up.
Pouring Custard: lightly beat 2-3 eggs for every pint of milk. Heat the milk and gradually pour over the eggs; add sugar and flavouring to suit your taste; heat in a double pan or jug and hot water until the required consistency has been achieved.
