Learn how to cook eggs perfectly: Begin by using hot water. (Page 2 ) | May 30, 2025

Heat water in a pot until it boils. The water should be deep enough to cover the eggs by at least one inch.

Cooking Eggs: Remove the eggs from the refrigerator right before cooking to prevent big temperature changes. Carefully place the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon or ladle to avoid breaking them.

Start the timer:

To make soft-boiled eggs, cook them for around 6-7 minutes.

For yolks that are firm but still creamy (medium-boiled), cook them for around 8-9 minutes.

For yolks that are completely solid (hard-boiled), cook for around 11-12 minutes.

Ice Bath: After cooking the eggs, put them in a bowl of ice water or rinse them with cold water for at least one minute. This helps to stop the food from cooking and makes it easier to remove the skin.

Peel and enjoy: Gently tap the eggs to break the shell, then begin to peel them. The shell should be easy to remove without leaving any pieces behind.

End.

If you usually put your eggs in cold water to start cooking them, trying the hot start method could improve your cooking routine. This technique makes peeling eggs easier and also enhances how they look and feel after cooking. Try it next time and savor the deliciousness of perfectly cooked eggs.
