      Downshiftology I'm forever in your debt and grateful. I love eggs and I've never been able to cook an egg soft or medium soft. And let's not even talk about a hard boiled. I always got the dreaded green line. Gross! I've tried several different methods in the past but none worked until now. You're recipe is genius!! Thank you, thank you!!

    6 mins - soft boiled, liquidy yolk inside
    6.5 mins - soft boiled liquidy yolk and a bit jammy (good for topping toast/salads)
    8 mins - soft, not liquidy but jammy (good for ramen)
    10 mins - medium
    12 mins - lightly hard boiled
    14 mins - hard boiled, best for potato/egg salads and deviled eggs
    Updated, clarified 6.5 min.

  • @Andlekin
    @Andlekin 4 роки тому +247

    Tip not mentioned in the video:
    Once the eggs are in the boiling water, let them cook for ~30sec, then gently roll them around for a minute in the boiling water. This helps the yolk set in the center of the egg.
    Sometimes the yolk is very close to the edge of the egg, and can be broken while peeling. This can help avoid that.

    I just finished boiling 14 perfect eggs and peeled perfectly 👌. I have never placed eggs into boiling water before. Cooked them just like you said and placed them into the cold water bath. They peeled perfectly. I still like using the back of my tablespoon to break shell and place between the membrane and the egg white on some of them to peel but not a one of them stuck and none of the white was lost. Thank you for this video and instructions.

Your video is so simple and easy to follow. And the peeling also came out pretty smooth for me with perfect hard boiled eggs at 12 minutes. Thanks a lot ❤ much love from india 💕

    Thank you so much! I've been using this tutorial for a few times now and it's just that now I've fully got the swing of it! I'm a teenager and I've made some boiled eggs for my family and they say that they love it!
    The seasoning I use is lemon pepper and it really hits the spot! I don't have a ice dispenser or an ice cube tray so I just grab a bowl, a lid, fill the bowl up with water, put the lid on, and put it in the freezer just as I'm about to boil the eggs so that when the timer is up, the water is not frozen, but cold.

  • @davefellows
    @davefellows 3 роки тому +10

    Completely agree with this technique. Only caveat is size of eggs can make quite a difference. Organic eggs here (which I recommend you only eat) vary in size a bit and so you sometimes need to adjust timings up or down a little (though, maybe eggs are all the same size in the US). Also, usually I'm eating the eggs straight away and want them still hot so I only cool them for ~20 seconds in tap water rather than an ice bath.

    • @mchrysogelos7623
      @mchrysogelos7623 11 місяців тому

      No eggs are NOT all the same size in the US, you can buy different sized eggs in the store and many people raise their own chicken layers, so who knows what size those eggs will be? Also depends on the breed of hen they have. GOOD TO KNOW about only needing to cool them for a few seconds - THAT was my only real question!

I followed your instructions to the letter and tried 8 minute eggs. They turned out just like your video! Genius! I learned that the best way to eat an egg for maximum nutrition power, is for the yolk to be just like the 6 or 8 minute egg cook time, or sunny side up. The 8 minute egg was delicious 😋!
