Eggs Cooked Without Boiling

By this very simple process eggs are said to be lighter and better adapted to delicate stomachs than by the old and general plan of boiling. Proceed as follows. Heat a basin with boiling water till it is thoroughly hot; then throw off the water and put the eggs to be cooked into it, moving them round so that every part shall receive the heat. Have ready a kettle of boiling water, pour this over the eggs, and cover the basin to prevent any steam from escaping. In twelve minutes they will be perfectly cooked.
