Using food science to make delicious meals for you.

During my studies, I learned about food technology and how food is delivered from “farm to fork”, putting the focus on providing safe and wholesome food. After college, I pursued a career in nutrition product development, creating healthy food, beverages, and children’s products for people around the world.

And now, I enjoy developing recipes in my home test kitchen and love nothing more than experimenting and unraveling the science behind better, healthier cooking and sharing that with you.

Just followed your instructions and worked better than I thought. It was such a hit or miss before. I meal prep and that was always frustrating

[rveubank]

I appreciate the thorough details. so many videos leave specifics not addressed

So you tell me i need 30 mins to make a hard boiled egg

[yakialva]

15 minutes in the ice bath?? I’m going to starve to death 🤣

[GoBart]

Jessica your a genius. I have never boiled a egg with out fighting that annoying membrane. Followed your instructions to the letter and had a egg that peeled easily and was cooked perfectly 👌 😋 Thank you.

My dad makes eggs for his diet and im gonna try this when i start focusing on cooking in the kitchen!

If you crack the eggs thoroughly before adding to the ice bath, it allows the ice water to seep in between the shell/membrane and the cooked egg inside, allowing for even easier peeling

[AndyMan-mrhy]

Just tap the egg on the fat end until you hear a snap before boiling. Job done

Water is at a full boil at 200* at an elevation of 6500ft., sea level is 212*, adjust cook time accordingly

Put the eggs in cold water. Bring to a gentile boil, using highest heat setting. Boil *exactly* 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, in hot water for 10 minutes.

(Test for doneness by spinning. If it spins, like a top, it’s done. If it’s not done, let it sit in the hot water longer. It will not overcook.)

Pour off all but 1” of the water. Cover and break the shells against the sides of the pot, by shaking. Pour off remaining hot water. Cover with cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel under cold running water.

I’ve done this with; gas, electric, and glass-top, ranges, for over 40 years. The only time I’ve had a problem is, if the eggs are “too fresh”. A fresh egg hasn’t had time to develop the air sac, at its base, and will be hard to peel no matter what method you use.

All the unnecessary steps 💀
Don't bother with ice, just dump out the hot water and add cold water over in the same pot.
Let it cool for a few minutes than peel

Wow I love your videos u have so much info thank you 🙏

[alohatvj]

Big like 👍.

Love ❤️ ❣️ 💕 the tips. Will implement immediately.

She is overcomplicating this so much. Just boil it and chill it down once it is cool-that is it. I went to culinary school as well.

[janX]

Lady, you just took the simplest recipe and complicated the hell out of it.

I'll stick with my eggshell sticking thank you.

[barryk]

So wrong... It's the age of the egg that matters. The albumen of a new/freshly-layed egg is more acidic than in older eggs (7 to 10 days old) and that's what causes the egg skin to adhere to the inside of the shell... The acidity causes chemical binding of albumen to calcium. As the egg ages, and as CO2 is released from the albumen, it becomes more alkaline and doesn't stick to the inside of the shell. Period. So if you follow the instructions in this video for a day 1 egg, it will not work. Those that have had success with her method are simply performing an unnecessary process to an older egg that wouldn't have the sticky eggshell issue. Science, not youtube ratings.

I just don’t have the patience to do stuff properly

[kratos]

Don't forget to have thermometer guys

[bellaaneke]

I’ve tried everything. Nothing works! Now I eat with shell on.

[Rashnak]

this just cracks the egg as it hits the hot water
