Company develops pre-cooked soft boiled egg that just needs added boiling water

If you are too busy to get the perfect yolk, a pre-cooked soft-boiled egg which only needs boiling water added is soon to hit supermarket shelves.



The Dippy Egg – a single pasteurised egg that is pre-cooked in its shell – simply has to be removed from its plastic bag, put back in its pot and have boiling water poured on it, before replacing the lid and leaving it for five minutes.

The egg, which will be launched in September, can then be eaten from the lid, which doubles as an egg cup. And its makers, Pork Farms, say that even if it is left in boiling water for more than five minutes, the yolk will not set.

Mark Hodson from Pork Farms said: “We’re looking at innovation in traditional markets and want to reinvent them with disruptive innovation”. Pork Farms have not yet announced how much they will charge for the Dippy Egg.
