Someone tell me how to properly boil an egg

Put eggs in pot of cool water that just covers the, bring to a boil and as soon as boil starts turn off heat and cover. 13 minutes for a hard boiled 6 minutes for a soft boiled. Times for soft boiled can vary a bit by size of egg and personal preference. Run cold water immediately after or put in ice bath.

To peel crack and run under low running faucet to help get under membrane.

If you need them to be perfect add a couple extra eggs for insurance purposes.

This will guarantee no green around yolk.

Alton Brown method:

Bring water to boil
Place in eggs
Boil for 11 mins (uncovered)
Remove heat and cover for 4 mins
Ice bath to stop cooking

Instant Pot makes easily peelable eggs. Put the trivet in with a cup of H2O. Put in eggs. Set for about 6 minutes of pressure, and let them stay another 6 after it goes off. Release remaining pressure and put eggs in ice water.

They peel easier than any other method I have tried. Now and then one will pop, but it’s often still usable.

Many promote a 5/5/5 approach on the timing. I like mine well done so go with 6 or even 7.

Putting the eggs into boiling water will make peeling much easier.

Many people will recommend putting the eggs into cold water then boiling. While this makes a good egg, it's not as easy to peel

My preferred method to a t. I’ve never tried it, but when my mom needed to boil eggs but only had fresh in the fridge she would take a little metal pick (similar to the pointy end of a nail) and puncture a very small hole in the shell on the side of the egg that had the air pocket. No egg leaks out, but it separates the egg from the shell within as it cooks and then the peel comes right off

Put a pot on with a steam basket. Once it’s steaming, put your eggs in for 14 minutes. Once the 14 minutes has passed remove the eggs and immediately drop the eggs into ice water.

They will peel easy, the yolk will be just cooked (no discoloration), and the time doesn’t change no matter how many eggs you’re cooking. Soft boiled I believe is 9 minutes, but I could be off on that as it’s been a long time since I did soft boiled.

Exactly how I do it. Instant Pot is king for perfect eggs

Has anyone tried Sous vide for eggs?

167 degrees for 14 or 15 minutes, followed by a quick dunk in cold water to stop the cooking, produces a poached egg that will come out of the shell beautifully.

Have not cooked them further for hard boiled.
