How long to boil eggs - Best recipe

 

I will tell you how to make the most perfect, soft boiled, and hard-boiled eggs and tell you how long to boil eggs. I think that my method is pretty fooling proof. Most online tutorials will have you placing eggs in a pot of cold water and bringing that to a boil for hard-boiled eggs yet for soft boiled eggs you put those in a pot of hot water and that can get pretty confusing and make it difficult If you want to cook soft-boiled and hard-boiled eggs at the same time.

 

So I will tell you my method which, spoiler alert, it's the same for both. Not only is it super easy, but it also prevents you from accidentally overcooking your eggs, and ending up with that green tinge around the yolk. While looking up how long to boil eggs, you'll end up with perfect eggs every time. Let's start.

Instruction on how long to boil eggs:

• The main reason I don't cook my hard-boiled eggs starting from cold water is this right here. You have to take pots made from aluminum, stainless steel, and cast-iron can get very quite a bit in how quickly they come to boil and retain their heat.
• I have found that those discrepancies can significantly affect how your eggs turn out when it comes to soft boiled eggs or accidentally overcooking hard-boiled eggs.
• So for the most consistent eggs, I always prefer and suggest you boil the water first, and today I m using a stainless steel pot, but when you boil your water first, it doesn't matter what type of the pot you use.
• Fill your pot with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch, then bring it to a boil. Now let's wait some time for the water to boil, and make sure eggs remove from the fridge and give them some warm-up; it takes a couple of minutes to warm up.  
• Next, you want to prepare an icy, cold, water bath for your eggs, as this wants will immediately stop them from cooking and retain the texture that you're aiming for.
• Now when you saw your water is boiling, you have to add eggs.
• Turn the heat to low while you add the eggs, as this will stop them from bouncing around and cracking. But once you have placed them all in, you can turn the backup. I love my stainless steel skimmer, as it makes adding and removing the eggs from the pot super easy,
• As soon as the eggs have been added to the water, start the timer. And today, because I am telling you a variety of eggs.
• I will remove them and suggest you remove them at 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 minutes, which spans a pretty wide variety of soft boiled and hard-boiled eggs.  
• If you want to see that eggs concerning time, then you have to write their cook time on the shell after they have had a minute to cool down in the ice water bath.
• When it comes to peeling the eggs and removing the shell, I always find it most comfortable and suggest you find it easiest to start at the thick end of the egg.
• They're usually a bit of an air bubble on that end, and its easier to get under the membrane that separates the shell from the egg. Running the egg under cold water while you are peeling helps as well. 

Boiled eggs slice:

• Alright, lets slice open those eggs, you boiled with time, and see how they turned out.
•  The first eggs are boiled about six minutes, and it should be quite soft with a liquid yolk, but the whites should be somewhat cooked.
•   For eight-minute eggs, the yolk will still be soft, but it's not liquid or jammy anymore.
• The 10-minute egg is the softest of what you considered hard-boiled, and they're just a smidge of softness left in the yolk.
• The 12-minute egg is a bit firmer, with a lighter yolk
•  Last, the 14-minute eggs are your traditional, hard-boiled egg, with the lightest yolk and a firm white.
•   Once you can get the hang of cooking eggs this way, you can experiment with the time that you like best. 
• And by starting all of the eggs at the same time in boiling water, you can quickly cook an assortment for the entire family, including 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14-minute eggs.
