Timing is Everything

What would your weekend morning be without a perfectly boiled egg? Its yellow yolk and shining egg white brighten up every breakfast table and are both stunning and delicious. Whether you like yours soft or hard—here are a few guidelines to follow. 

We recommend starting with a saucepan of cold water and piercing the eggs beforehand. From there on, timing is everything, but you’ll soon get the hang of it after watching our video. When they’re done boiling, briefly place the eggs into an ice bath, which will make them easier to peel. By following these tips, you will get amazing results every single time!

Put an Egg on It

Enjoy your perfectly boiled egg together with crispy bacon or avocado toast. Or, add it to salads for extra protein.

How to cook the perfect egg

Au contraire, mon cher ami ... This produces perfect eggs, which is one of the reasons why my wife married me: First of all, make sure that the eggs are stored correctly (in the box, but also later in the fridge) were, and that is, with the THICK side up. This is how the bubble is reliably there, where it is then peeked at. Yes, but not anywhere, but on that very thick side, in the bubble, and not in the protein. Then bring the water to a boil BEFORE, as has already been said elsewhere, brings the other method with the cold water too many imponderables, which is then Eierlotto. For a L egg with soft yolk and solid egg white, cook it for 6.40 minutes. And it is not turned on the controller, the water has to cook like crazy all the time! Now to quench: that one does the better peelability, of course, just (pardon, but is so) nonsense. Whether or not an egg peels depends simply on how old it is. The fresher, the harder it is to peel. You should still quench your egg, but because it will not continue to grow, so the residual heat in the egg will turn it from a soft to a hard-boiled egg. Amazing, right?

I agree with everything except starting from cold water. This is too imprecise. First boil the water, set your timer and ladle in the raw eggs. Much more precise. No broken egg shells. Cooking from cold brings in undesirable variables such as water quantity, flame temperature and pot type.
