Gordon Ramsay’s cooking video has gone viral on TikTok with just under eight million views, as the chef explains his tips on how “to make the perfect soft-boiled egg.” In the video, the celebrity chef explained that the first step is to simply “get them on a spoon and drop them in the water…and then bring that to a boil.”

He then tells the viewer it is important to not stir your eggs constantly. He said: “Don’t ball them ferociously, they’ll get that sort of black line around the outside.” Gordon then advised: “Boil them gently, as you want to boil that liquidy, sort of yolky bit in the middle.”

Six minutes later, Gordon Ramsay took his egg out of the pot and then placed them in a small bowl of water. He said: “Now, eggs take them out. I always like to put them into cold water first before I start peeling them.”
