I love the final statement delivered with zero enthusiasm. Absolutely hilarious.

I miss videos like this. Straight to the point. None of that "Hey what's up guys! A soft boiled egg is my spirit animal and my girlfriend's go to bs.

You have to turn the temp back down after it begins to boil just an FYI or it will crack anyway

Very simple technique but not everyone knew about it. I've cracked many eggs, so I'm very glad someone put this up. Thanks!

[ajaygshah]

Thank you! I was looking for a quick video as I wanted to boil one right now..

[AkiZukiLenn]

Don't know where all those dislikes from, but I do crack the egg because I drop it too heavy every time I try to boil one, with this video I actually stop it .

I appreciate this video - good for someone who’s been cooking for years - or a brand new person who has barely “boiled water.” Just one point however - are the eggs straight out of the refrigerator where, in America, they are kept from entering the house until moment of use?

I don't know why this very short vid made me laugh 🤣

[landos]

Thanks chef, you're a life saver!!😁

[rebeccagutierrez]

Thank you. There is another way to do it. First you boil the water with no egg in it. Once the water is boiling put the egg on a spoon and slowly introduce it to the water by sort of jumping it up and down into the water not dramatically but just slightly and introduce it slowly introduce and then just let it in. You should have a nice egg with no cracks.

Two eggs cracked right away after boiling. Saved the rest by covering them better with more water.

Hey man, thanks for the vid . Eggs turned out perfect for Easter morning, idk what all these other cry babies r whining about, it worked great, cheers man

[keithwallace]

No
eggs need to be put in a boiled water so you can get that count min to get the perfect type of boiled eggs
if you want it to not break in water just use a needle to make a small hole in it and add some salt and bicarbonates

Why are American eggs white? In England they are a sort of brown colour.
