Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs, Every Time

Who wants dry and chalky eggs when you can have eggs that look like Chef John's?

When i was little, my parents where fans of 14 minute eggs. They were basically blue and falling apart. I hated eggs as a kid as a result. First rime i made myself a soft boiled? Whole different story. And the first time I poached one? Mind blown. Now i eat a dozen eggs a week generally

Oh, I drifted to the rich side of the internet - 6

OMG I just tried this. It is by far the best way I have ever tried!!! I will never go back to any other method.

This is the way. Very fast and consistent. Easy to adjust time for soft or hard, or perfect jammy. When adding a lot more eggs just increase time slightly.

Chef John! I use this method constantly, it has saved me a lot of trouble over the years. Thank you for making this wonderful technique easily accessible for the world!

No, but after ruining (overcooking) my eggs this morning, this videos is a wonderful pick-me-up. This looks very fool proof. Thanks Chef John ❤

1980, I was 12 and mom taught me how to make HB eggs. I still make them that way and the ONLY difference I've found is the egg, not the process. I might give this a try, but I usually don't try to 'fix' what's not broken.

Wouldn't those be steamed, medium eggs🧐? Still looks delish

[MrTeacherDO]

I’ll be sure to save this recipe for the unforeseeable future

Chef John ama on r/food tomorrow at 2pm eastern

Pressure cooker changes this, 4 in a pressure cooker. Best eggs you ever have.

[karenamanda]

Did you use room temp or cold eggs? Thanks 🙂✌️

[lizpedroza]

Nope- no eggs for us until the price goes down 😢

[Mr.MimeisFrench]

I prefer eggs at this doneness. The only problem arises when making egg salad. The eggs don't have enough dryness to get an egg salad that isn't somewhat runny.

This is another Way to cook boiled eggs. I suggest cover your eggs with cold water in a sauce pan and put the temp on high heat and set your timer for 13 minutes, then place eggs into an ice water bath. If you like them more cooked, set the timer for 14 to 15 minutes.

[independenceltd.]

welp, i have boiled eggs your old way ever since i saw the video and never had a problem, so i'm going to trust you on this one.

[mEbackward]

I've been converted to steaming (cold eggs for 15-16 min then ice bath), but if ever I don't have a steamer basket I'll try this

Room temp. eggs? Or straight out of the fridge?
