Cooking Tip of the day - Boiling Egg

Do you get irritated when you put an egg to boil and it broke? Well, here's a way to prevent it.

Poke an egg with a small sewing needle at the bottom of the egg (where there's air bubble) before hard-boiling and it will not break. Also, the egg will peel with ease! (I learnt this from my host mum)

And, hold that needle in place with a magnetic refrigerator clip and you won't loose it!
