Are you tired of ending up with either undercooked or overcooked eggs every time you attempt to boil them? Look no further! In this simple guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to achieve perfectly boiled eggs every single time.

What you’ll need:

  • Fresh eggs
  • A saucepan with lid
  • Cold water
  • A timer
  • An egg piercer or pin

Step 1: Choose the right eggs

Start by selecting fresh eggs. The freshness of the eggs determines how easily they will be peeled. If possible, choose eggs that are at least a week old.

Step 2: Prep the eggs

Piercing the eggs before boiling prevents them from cracking. Carefully use an egg piercer or pin to make a tiny hole in the wide end of each egg.

Step 3: Boiling the eggs

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan.
  2. Add enough cold water to the pan, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged.
  3. Place the saucepan on high heat until the water reaches a rolling boil.
  4. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and set a timer for your desired level of doneness:
    • Soft-boiled eggs: 4-5 minutes
    • Medium-boiled eggs: 6-7 minutes
    • Hard-boiled eggs: 8-9 minutes
  5. When the timer goes off, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Step 4: Peeling the eggs

Once the eggs have cooled down, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell. Roll the egg to further loosen the shell, then peel it off starting from the wider end.

Tips for success:

  • For easier peeling, peel the eggs underwater or under running water.
  • Use older eggs for hard-boiled eggs, as fresh eggs tend to be more difficult to peel.
  • If you prefer warm soft-boiled eggs, reduce the cooking time by 1-2 minutes.

With this simple guide, boiling eggs perfectly is no longer a daunting task. Enjoy your deliciously cooked eggs in salads, as a snack, or any way you prefer!
