Questions
How do I start a 6 minute countdown?
Press Start and the ring begins to drain straight away. Press Space to pause or resume, and R to reset.
How long do you boil a jammy egg?
About six minutes for a large egg straight from the fridge, lowered into gently boiling water. Move it into cold water when the alarm sounds so it stops cooking. Four minutes gives a runnier yolk, eight a firmer one.
Which timer should I use for a break after six minutes of work?
Try the 5 minute timer for a short break or the 10 minute timer for a longer one.
