    Turn the heat up to 6 until they come to the boil, then turn the heat down low to keep them boiling gently - usually 1 or 2. Put a lid on but not tight, have it angled a bit. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

    What she said.

    Always start from cold too with root vegtables/tubers.

    the 20 mins is only a guide. they are done when a fork goes into them easily.
