I have struggled with making soft boiled eggs for years. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I just tried this method. They came out perfectly, first time! Thank you.
Starts at 0:22 1- bring water to gentle boil, keep on medium high heat 2- put eggs in water slowly w/ slotted spoon 3- timer for 6 min 30 seconds while preparing ice bath 4a- optional ice bath after finished to stop egg cooking or 4b- put in cold water and peel 5a- after cooling completely in ice bath, store in fridge for later consumption 5b- for eating immediately - crack on surface gently when shells are cool to touch. Tip- tap bottom of egg first where air pocket is for easier peeling - then transfer back to ice water to continue to remove shell thanks chef studio! :)
This video has changed my life. I’ve struggled with cooking eggs like this for years, soft or hard boiled. I struggle to peel them. This has helped me so much. I also gently tap the bottom of the eggshell before putting it in the water to boil. Every single egg I’ve peeled using this method since I watched this video last night has come out PERFECTLY. The soft boiled eggs were amazing, and I now have them in the fridge marinating to make soy eggs for ramen! I woke up this morning and made hard boiled eggs for breakfast and again, perfect. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! 💛
Can't wait for my life to change😅... I also struggle making softboiled eggs. I always end up having an undercooked white, where it sticks to the shell when peeling.. hoping this one would work. 🥰
I think a very important part is how fierce you're boiling them. Putting cold eggs into a slightly simmering pan stops the simmering for a while but the timer has started! I've never found a consistent way yet! Great video thankyou.
Woot woot! Just discovered this!! Finally did it right! You guys just need to listen to the instruction! After i dunked it on a cold iced water i then poped them in the fridge still in the water for 1min 30 sec after that i started peeling! No runny whites just perfect egg shape and a perfect soft yolk in the middle!!
0:30 the eggs can be prevented from cracking by using a pin to poke a hole in the shell at the blunt end of the egg. There is an air pocket there, and when the egg is put into boiling water, the air pressure in that pocket suddenly increases as the air heats up. If you poke a hole in the shell, the air bubbles out as it heats up, rather than building up pressure and cracking the shell. One neat side effect of poking a hole in the shell to let out the air is that as your eggs cook, they will expand and fill out the divot, so that your finished eggs won't have as large a divot at the blunt end. A really fresh egg may end up filling out the entire divot as it expands during cooking.
THANK-YOU. I am not very good with boiling eggs and recipes for this rarely go into the step-by-step they really should for those of us who are egg-impaired lol.
Not my first time trying to boil a soft boiled eggs but your tips are magnifique! Hahahahah turned out so perfect without even have to soak it on ice water 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
I am very young and my mom and sister made fin of me for being 10 and not being able to cook anything but then this helped me finally learn how to cook my favourite food so thank you so much for the help❤❤❤
I recommend putting a piece of butter in a pan on medium heat, and spreading it around till it melts. Then put a piece of bread on it until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the other side and wait for it brown as well. Then cut the egg on top. Might be better with 2 eggs though so yolk spreads more. Don't need salt if you use salted butter, so I just put black pepper on top.
Yes, thank you for showing the timing for the jelly egg! My son and I go to Japanese noodle house, they have the jelly jelly egg to add up to the noodles likeness. They cooked them a little longer to allow the egg just jelly up and cook a little longer to result like a smoked egg yoke soft bite feel but not liquid ooze out.
I love that the one thing that can make any cook argue is how to make the PERFECT any kind of egg (especially sunny side up or scrambled). Of course, only I do them perfectly 😉. Anyone heard of graved eggs? It's egg yolks cured in a salt and sugar mixture. The result is a firm jammy but almost cheese like texture. As tempting as it is to bite into it, DON'T. Grate it like cheese over pastas, sandwiches, salads, soups, pizzas, meats, for a super flavorful umami taste! What other ways are a unique way to cook or prepare the simple but versatile egg? Trying to find things I haven't done yet
They look so good, another way to eat them though is just pealing top tip of the shell of and then using a tiny spoon to carve out the rest of the egg from the shell. Also thanks😊
I gave this a shot and peeling the eggs is where it went sideways. I tried to push down a little to break the shell at that end, it wouldn’t break, then finally it just exploded onto me and onto the floor. No fun to clean up. I had a second egg and it worked a bit better but the inside was so soft I had to be real careful not to break it so the yolk would stay in there. Got it peeled (lost a few pieces) and threw it into my ramen. Quite good. I’ll do better next time.
This worked perfectly for me with eggs straight out of the refrigerator. Note for all: putting eggs in ice bath is important otherwise it will be more difficult to peel the eggs! This is eggzactly what I’ve been looking for.
it's basically an over easy egg without cooking it in butter or oil, still in its egg shape. you can get the same thing with a poached egg. but this is pretty cool I will definitely give it a try, thanks.
Does it matter if it’s electric or gas stove? We have electric stove and followed these instructions but eggs were undercooked and all too runny. I tried again for 10 minutes and it worked, soft boiled with just enough runny yolk.
The way i crack and pale my eggs is to keep the eggs in the pot after draining the water. Then shuffle and shake the pot with the eggs inside causing them to crack all over then i simply use a tea spoon to scoop under the cracked shell and run it around the egg causing the whole shell to pale right off. Works wonders for me everytime and yes i came up with this method myself.
I love the mood-music lol... and your great method for soft-boiling eggs. That's my most favourite way of eating eggs, apart from Omelets, Zabaglione and French Toast..... lol Cheers.
I just tried making soft boiled eggs for the first time a few days ago and they came out wayyy too runny, I followed some guide online that was way off with the timing. I figured a video would give me a better idea of how they would turn out and this video definitely helped me a lot. Just tried making one for the second time today and it turned out perfectly!
What sized eggs are you using here, and how should you adjust time for larger eggs?? I typically buy jumbo eggs because that's what the local market has. I know how to adjust quantities for cooking in recipes, but timing for this needs to be pretty exact - right??
Will try this method. My soft boiled eggs either come out with hard yolks or the yolk is nice and runny but the white can only be described as a snot like consistency, which isn't very appetising to say the least
Thank you so much I wasn't peeling the eggs in the cold water maybe that's why half of them always cling onto the shell and go straight to trash.. also very nice narration... it made me think of sister michael from derry girls for some reason...
@chefstudio, but when I do this even at 7 mins, the egg whites peel off with the shell Is it the fault of the eggs I'm using or is there something else?
Another tip is to prick a hole with a pin into the flat side (this side has a bubble), this will prevent the eggs cracking by letting any pressure release when the inside expands when cooked.
Prior to putting the eggs into the hot water, should they sit on the counter for 30 minutes @ room temperature so they won't be as cold as they are in the frig?
But what if i want my yolk a little more runny than "jammy"? Do i decrease the cook time, or the ice bath time? Or is it neither? I can't seem to find any kind of answer online anywhere... help? 🙏

This video changed your life? Wow it’s about an egg…..are you ok?
@@tanagra2If you eat eggs every day, yes. Learning to make them proper soft boiled eggs objectively changed your life. Doesn't mean it's a big change

I don't think I've ever seen a more detailed , relaxing and chill how to video in my life. 🎉
Thank you for not trying to make this more exciting than it is. More of this appropriate energy please.
Ah I see, a gentle boil is needed. I've been doing it wrong with a rolling boil
Can't wait to try this! :D
Better add a min to the recipe or you’ll get runny whites.
@@BradPope-ph5txthat’s half boiled, and what a lot of people actually want when they say soft boiled.
I think a very important part is how fierce you're boiling them. Putting cold eggs into a slightly simmering pan stops the simmering for a while but the timer has started! I've never found a consistent way yet!

Okay now I know how to make the perfect soft boiled egg. It was explained well enough that I won’t have to stress over it in the future. Thank you 🙏
Anyone struggling, get an Eggy Time! They’re so useful. Mine broke so now I’m watching this video so I can perfect it. 😅
Thank you, for me getting an uncooked yolk has always been random. I loved how we'd eat them out of the shell with a small spoon as kids.
We had little egg cups to eat these from.
THANK-YOU. I am not very good with boiling eggs and recipes for this rarely go into the step-by-step they really should for those of us who are egg-impaired lol.
"and just,, please" 😂
I was doing soft boiled eggs first time in my life today and I followed this tutorial, they came out PERFECT.
Amazing 10/10 W tutorial, thank you.
I never made soft boiled eggs before but this how-to is really good. My eggs came out perfectly. Thank you!! 😊
Followed instructions for the first time, a perfect soft boiled egg was made. I ran mine under a tap. Thanks for this video
Not my first time trying to boil a soft boiled eggs but your tips are magnifique! Hahahahah turned out so perfect without even have to soak it on ice water 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
It’s basically half the time as for a hard boiled egg. 13 min makes perfect hard boiled eggs. Glad I watched.
I gave this a go today and omg my eggs turned out perfectly! I'm so happy!
I am very young and my mom and sister made fin of me for being 10 and not being able to cook anything but then this helped me finally learn how to cook my favourite food so thank you so much for the help❤❤❤

Thank you for proving my point This is exactly how you do it. I've been trying to tell people this so many people get it wrong. Thank you
I just did this....I added a heaping tsp of baking soda to the water for easy peeling, works great
Thank you
Thank you for this comment. I wasn't sure how much baking soda. Does it work well on fresh eggs?
Do you add baking soda to the ice water?
Came out perfect! My fiancé was impressed. Thank you.

What other ways are a unique way to cook or prepare the simple but versatile egg? Trying to find things I haven't done yet
Ive never heard of graved eggs, and I think poached eggs would be a unique way to cook the egg
Poaching in spaghetti sauce is excellent.
I followed the instructions and the result was perfect!

Just made them and they were perfect! Thank you 👍
How can something so simple be so delicious?
Excellent and love your witty comments!
Yep makes the perfect soft boiled egg!! I use the timer on my phone and not the wind up timer on my counter. 🙏
Can you use a kettle to boil the water
Do we start with room temp eggs or cold eggs straight out the fridge?
Cold eggs straight from the fridge!
@@ChefStudioChannel I keep mine on my counter. I'm thinking I would cook for a little less time?
Followed this and it worked perfectly
it's basically an over easy egg without cooking it in butter or oil, still in its egg shape. you can get the same thing with a poached egg. but this is pretty cool I will definitely give it a try, thanks.

Fuck ya dude this worked great thanks

Don’t try it
@@Jack-hb4dm her advice was awful , max heat boil and for 9 minutes had worked much better , ice bath still necessary though

I smiled when you said put them in Ramen cause that’s what I’m about to do. Hopefully, I can do it right.

Absolutely fantastic!!!. Thank you so much for creating the informative video. 🎉
I loved your sarcastic commentary. Great video!!
2:03, I put them on my toes like you said , diddnt work out great🤷🏾♂️
Great video ..however do eggs need 2 be room temp.?
I love your voice its so peaceful and ear candy
I got into a relationship with Jesus in my early 20’s to avoid the fiery inferno of hell.
Do your research on Jesus being one of gods greatest prophets and not the ‘son’ of god
Thank you so much.I just did.It came out perfect just like yours❤😊
And yet I still failed 😂
How?! What happened?
Don't worry be happy 🎉 try again
Try and try😂😂
ROFL 🤣 😂 so cute/funny

Lot of ur videos are very infromational.
(Studying at cheff school in a few years, so the more infromation does help.) Thank you.✌
Thanks so much and so glad you’re getting some good info from the channel! Best of luck at chef school ☺️☺️
Will try this method. My soft boiled eggs either come out with hard yolks or the yolk is nice and runny but the white can only be described as a snot like consistency, which isn't very appetising to say the least
Worked perfectly, no cap
Thank you so much I wasn't peeling the eggs in the cold water maybe that's why half of them always cling onto the shell and go straight to trash.. also very nice narration... it made me think of sister michael from derry girls for some reason...
@chefstudio, but when I do this even at 7 mins, the egg whites peel off with the shell
Is it the fault of the eggs I'm using or is there something else?
Thank you for wonderful video! Your voice is so pleasant and amazing simple views showing all, so professional 💛
Another tip is to prick a hole with a pin into the flat side (this side has a bubble), this will prevent the eggs cracking by letting any pressure release when the inside expands when cooked.
Do the eggs need to be set out of the refrigerator before cooking?
Prior to putting the eggs into the hot water, should they sit on the counter for 30 minutes @ room temperature so they won't be as cold as they are in the frig?
I just tried it. Works perfect.
Worked perfectly. Thank you 😊
I have bought countless egg cookers and watched dozens of videos to make soft-boiled eggs. Just tried this method and the eggs came out perfect!
Bro I love this narrator..ty
Room temp eggs or straight from the refrigerator?
Question. Is there a way to keep the eggs warm after?
Perfect directions! Thank you!
Should 'fridge eggs first be brought to room temperature?
Thank you much for making this video it’s very helpful 🙏🏻✨ God bless you more! ❤️
Can they be refrigerated eggs or at rom temp ?
Made perfect soft boiled eggs for the first time ❤❤❤ tysm for this
Works like a charm. Thanks!
I just put them for 3 minutes and 50 seconds on regular boiling water and they are great
Does this only work with two or can I put in four as well with this method?
I love this but the shell stuck to the egg, did I take out too early? Eggs were great BTW but we're so soft I could not pull at half the shell
Short and sweet, thank you.
Are the eggs room temperature or cold from the fridge?
your tone makes it perfect, also the lazy way to make it stop cooking was hilarious
You a real one for lmk about just using cold water from the faucet
Nice video but mine came out a little too soft. I think maybe 8 minutes for me.
Short direct to the point no bs thank you 😊
We're the eggs at room temperature when lowered into the water?
Thank you! Easy and it works!
Do you have to let the eggs come to room temperature before boiling?
“And just.. please” does for me every time lmao
Directly from fridge or let sit out first?
Thanks for posting. These turned out absolutely perfect!
But what if i want my yolk a little more runny than "jammy"? Do i decrease the cook time, or the ice bath time? Or is it neither? I can't seem to find any kind of answer online anywhere... help? 🙏
How do you peel the these eggs without breaking them? I have such a hard time as the outcover sticks to the skin. I give up.
How do you re heat soft boiled eggs? Because you mentioned putting them in the fridge. Does the yolk Become dry if you re heat them
I think if you put them in the fridge you just have to eat them cold or add them to a hot meal.
What a great, to the point video with a vibe
