Perfect Boiled Eggs: A Simple Guide to Getting It Right

ADVERTISEMENT

Start with eggs that are at room temperature. This helps to prevent the shells from cracking due to a sudden change in temperature when they hit the hot water.

Boiling Water:

Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs completely. Bring the water to a full boil over high heat.

Adding the Eggs:

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low (just enough to maintain a simmer) and use a spoon or ladle to gently lower the eggs into the water. This prevents the eggs from bouncing and cracking.

Cooking Time:

For soft-boiled eggs: Cook for about 4-6 minutes.

For medium-boiled eggs: Cook for about 6-9 minutes.

For hard-boiled eggs: Cook for about 10-12 minutes.

Adjust the time slightly depending on the size of the eggs and your altitude, which can affect cooking.

Cooling the Eggs:

Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them with a slotted spoon and immediately place them into a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
