Boiled eggs, most avoid cold water directly into the pot, teach you the correct way. Method in the first (c.o.m.m.e.n.t.)
Boiling eggs may seem simple, but achieving the perfect consistency—soft, medium, or hard—requires precision. Here’s a foolproof method to get it right every time:
What You Need:
– Fresh eggs
– Pot with a lid
– Bowl with ice water
– Timer
1. **Room-Temperature Eggs:** Start with eggs at room temperature to prevent shells from cracking.
2. **Boil Water:** Fill a pot with enough water to fully cover the eggs. Bring it to a boil.
3. **Add Eggs Gently:** Lower heat to a simmer and use a spoon to gently place eggs in the water.
4. **Cooking Times:**
– Soft-boiled: 4–6 minutes
– Medium-boiled: 6–9 minutes
– Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes
Adjust for egg size or altitude.
