Food Scientists Say This Is How to Perfectly Boil Eggs

Eggs are a staple in Americans' diet, but this once cheap source of healthy protein has gotten quite expensive. Food scientists in the US and Italy want to make sure none of your eggs go to waste and have been testing out ways to make the perfect boiled one. Experts say the best boiled eggs have a just-so-soft yolk and a just-so-firm white. The challenge in achieving this is that many methods are only good for the white or the yolk. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

I lost it at “and you repeat this process” 😮

[demh]

I'll follow this advice when I can afford eggs again.

30 minutes for a boiled egg? HARD PASS

[jasongrundy]

What a waste of time and energy. Put it in boiling water, turn off the heat, it's done in 12 minutes or less.

[fordtsai]

What’s next? Teach you how to eat eggs ?

[Vss]

"put the egg in boiling water" thank you, now i know how to make an egg, before it was always so slimy & raw

[lem]

It literally took a scientist to figure out how to make boiling eggs complicated

[stezton]

Nope. I like mine boiled solid. No squishy yolk for me.

Remember, this is an opinion…not a fact. Everyone has a preference of how well done they like their food.

Lemme go steal some eggs from a restaurant so I can test this, be right back!

[davidvidya]

Now do the art of finding an affordable egg that doesn't involve theft

3-4 minutes in (already) boiling water then cold water perfect for me! 😋

1:13 Meanwhile...people who talk with their eyes closed 😑😳

[TheRManProds]

JUST MAKE SURE NOT TO PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE!

[peterrezba]

What is this? Was this experiment funded by USAID? $210 million on how to boil a perfect egg. Lmao

[RichRich]

What's the best way to get a cooked egg that has a shell that is easy to remove. That's what's important to me.

[BessieAggen]

That's why there's such a thing as two minute egg 3-minute egg 4 minute egg it all depends on how you like your eggs!

[missladyanonymity]

For the price right now, i can't imagine any american has eggs right now.

[pedromsdias]

I can get the same yolk just by putting it in boiling water for 6-7 minutes, and that's it. No need for all these steps...
