Tanya Francis

Editor, Boiling Eggs

Tanya Francis is a home cook from Guelph, Ontario, and she edits Boiling Eggs.

Eggs are about as practical as food gets. They're cheap, they keep, and a pot of water is all the equipment you need. So this site sticks to the questions that come up at the stove: how long, why did it crack, why won't it peel, and is it still good.

What she does here

Tanya edits the guides on Boiling Eggs and decides what gets published and what gets corrected. Every page uses the same set of cooking times, given as ranges because eggs, pots and stoves vary. Food-safety figures come from USDA and FDA, and each one links to its source.

Nothing on this site is a lab test, a product review or a rating.
