Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- Here's an easy tutorial on how to cook soft boiled eggs perfectly every time.
METHOD:
Place your eggs into gently boiling water for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Transfer them to an ice bath or rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Gently crack the shells of the cooked eggs on a hard surface starting with the wide base of the egg. For easier, faster peeling, peel the eggs in water, this also helps ensure there aren't any bits of extra shell on the egg itself. Serve and enjoy.
//BOILED EGG FAQ
~How long can you keep soft boiled eggs?
You can keep soft boiled eggs for up 2 days in the fridge with the shell on. As the yolks aren't fully cooked, they don't keep as long as hard boiled eggs.
~How do you reheat soft boiled eggs?
To reheat fridge cold eggs, place them in boiling water for 3 and a half minutes.
~How many can you cook at a time?
In a medium sized pot, 4 eggs at a time is best. In a larger pot, you can cook 8 at a time. Remember, the fridge cold eggs will cool the water around them so adding too many will change the cooking time required.
~What size egg did you use?
I used standard, North American, large eggs.
~What temperature do the eggs have to be before boiling?
For this specific tutorial, the eggs I used are cold and straight from the refrigerator. Room temperature eggs will cook more quickly (typically needing about 5 minutes).

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! :)
Thank you!
You da real MVP
You’re fuckin awesome thank you🤍🤘🏽
what did she do before to the video to the egg
its a 2 minute video
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.
For years is crazy
How I just made three on accident. 😭
@@hepalooner 😭😭
@@sloppy1287 It worked great! 7 mins for me
@@hepalooner lmaooo 😂
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!!!!! 💛
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
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 don't think I've ever seen a more detailed , relaxing and chill how to video in my life. 🎉
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.
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!!
woot woot
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 🙏
Great video - no frills, clear and instructive.
I did it. My patient wanted them like that, and they came out perfect 💪🏻 she's pleased
I never made soft boiled eggs before but this how-to is really good. My eggs came out perfectly. Thank you!! 😊
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, 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 for not trying to make this more exciting than it is. More of this appropriate energy please.
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.
Followed instructions for the first time, a perfect soft boiled egg was made. I ran mine under a tap. Thanks for this video
"and just,, please" 😂
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 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.
Anyone struggling, get an Eggy Time! They’re so useful. Mine broke so now I’m watching this video so I can perfect it. 😅
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.
Thank you for making it short and simple. Appreciate it!
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
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.
Nice video but mine came out a little too soft. I think maybe 8 minutes for me.
It’s basically half the time as for a hard boiled egg. 13 min makes perfect hard boiled eggs. Glad I watched.
I followed the instructions and the result was perfect!
Are the eggs room temperature or cold from the fridge?
Do we start with room temp eggs or fridge cooled eggs?
I gave this a go today and omg my eggs turned out perfectly! I'm so happy!
@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?
Came out perfect! My fiancé was impressed. Thank you.
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 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.
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 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?
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!
Yep makes the perfect soft boiled egg!! I use the timer on my phone and not the wind up timer on my counter. 🙏
How can something so simple be so delicious?
Will try these tomorrow morning! Thank you so much!
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
Thanks for posting. These turned out absolutely perfect!
Followed this and it worked perfectly
The most perfect soft boiled egg….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!
Worked perfectly, no cap
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😊
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...
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.
Would love to see a video of this.
Fuck ya dude this worked great thanks
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.
Excellent and love your witty comments!
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 ☺️☺️
Bro I love this narrator..ty
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.
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.
After 6:30, some of the inner white part still left in liquid form. I’m doing anything wrong ?
your tone makes it perfect, also the lazy way to make it stop cooking was hilarious
I loved your sarcastic commentary. Great video!!
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.
And yet I still failed 😂
How?! What happened?
Don't worry be happy 🎉 try again
Try and try😂😂
ROFL 🤣 😂 so cute/funny
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??
"Deeply unpleasant" 😂😂😂 Been giggling over that comment for a while now. Also, great video.
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? 🙏
Thank you for wonderful video! Your voice is so pleasant and amazing simple views showing all, so professional 💛
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?
“From here eat them, however you like. Little salt and pepper, put them on your toes.. Put them in ramen.. whatever you feel..” 😅😂
Thank you so much I have trouble making eggs lol, and I’m making ramen at 5:10 am😂
Thank you so much.I just did.It came out perfect just like yours❤😊
Thanks for improper way! All in. Don't keep ice in my RV! 😂👍
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.
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.
Made perfect soft boiled eggs for the first time ❤❤❤ tysm for this
10/10 best eggs I have ever had
I just tried it. Works perfect.
Perfect directions! Thank you!
Short direct to the point no bs thank you 😊
I throw a couple of eggs into many different kid of single serving soups. Just enough to be soft boiled. Man that's good.
That is the best method Ive tried so far, thanks👍
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
Absolutely fantastic!!!. Thank you so much for creating the informative video. 🎉
Rookie cook here. But don't the eggs get cold when you serve them after an ice bath? How do you serve this hot?
Short and sweet, thank you.
Not sure what I did wrong but I followed these instructions to a T and the eggs came out as a runny mess when peeling. They were crazily undercooked and it ended up just being a mess of yolk and whites all over the plate.
Thank you , her advice was awful i was up in this comment section and had to tell about 3 others this same exact thing
They don't mention that the eggs should be room temp to begin with.
Worked perfectly. Thank you 😊
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
Do the eggs need to be set out of the refrigerator before cooking?
Does this only work with two or can I put in four as well with this method?
I just put them for 3 minutes and 50 seconds on regular boiling water and they are great
Should 'fridge eggs first be brought to room temperature?
one thing to make things just a little easier - make a pin hole in the bottom (flat end) of the egg. It will make peeling much easier!
I love your voice its so peaceful and ear candy
Can you use a kettle to boil the water
Thank you much for making this video it’s very helpful 🙏🏻✨ God bless you more! ❤️
Works like a charm. Thanks!
How long should I leave the eggs in the ice bath? I followed the cooking instructions to the letter, and my eggs were challenging to peel. They did come out soft boiled so I am thankful but it sucks that I couldn't enjoy the egg whites.
It was a challenge for me as well. I attempted to over cook a little but mine still were under cooked. I tried to salvage them, but it was a disaster for the eggs and i was too hungry. I missed the fast food breakfast time by doing this instead i thought i would be eating faster by cooking eggs for 6 minutes. It turned into a project.
“And just.. please” does for me every time lmao
What a great, to the point video with a vibe
Great video ..however do eggs need 2 be room temp.?
K that was way harder to peel than I expected. It took a lot of patience to do it without ripping the yolk open, but I got it on my second try. Put it on my avo toast 👌:)
I tried this but with 7 minutes and when I tried to peel them the shell kept sticking to the edge of the egg and trying to peel it broke the egg in half while trying to peel it very gently in the water.
We're the eggs at room temperature when lowered into the water?
Can I use the eggs right out of the fridge or do I need to get them at room temperature first?
