Steps
- Fill a pot with plenty of water and bring it to a boil, ensuring there's enough hot water to completely submerge the eggs. (Key Tip!) Boiling in fully boiling hot water, rather than starting from cold water, increases cooking consistency.
- Always use eggs that are straight from the refrigerator. (Key Tip!) Maintaining a consistent temperature between the hot water and the eggs allows for the same yolk consistency with every batch.
- Once the hot water is at a rolling boil, gently place the cold eggs straight from the refrigerator into the pot. (Key Tip!) Using a ladle or similar tool to lower the eggs gently without them hitting the bottom of the pot helps prevent cracking.
- After adding the eggs, boil for your desired time starting from when the water returns to a full boil. Recommended boiling times are: 6 minutes for a runny yolk (molten yolk, soft whites), 7-8 minutes for a typical soft-boiled egg, 9 minutes for the center of the yolk to start setting while maintaining a vibrant color, 10 minutes for the outer part of the yolk to be firmly set and white, and 12 minutes for a hard-boiled egg (the entire yolk is white and fully cooked).
- Once the desired cooking time is reached, turn off the heat and immediately discard the hot water. Immediately transfer the eggs to cold water and rapidly cool them until completely chilled. (Key Tip!) Especially for soft-boiled eggs, rapid cooling in cold water prevents the eggs from overcooking from residual heat. Using an ice bath is even more effective, particularly in the summer.
- Once the eggs are completely cooled, peel them.
