Step 1: Place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan. Be sure not to crowd the eggs in the pan. They should fit comfortably.
Step 2: Fill the pan with cold water, 1 inch above the eggs.
Step 3: Bring the water to a rapid boil on the stovetop over high heat.
Step 4: Once the water comes to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and remove the pan from the heat. Do not lift the lid. Set a timer for the type of boiled egg you want, from 4 minutes to 12 minutes.
Step 5: Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
Step 6: When the eggs reach the desired cooking time, use tongs to remove the eggs from the hot water and immerse gently into the prepared ice water to cool, about 10 minutes.
Step 7: Gently tap the eggs against a hard surface and peel away the shell. Rinse the egg under cold water to remove any bits of shell and pat dry.

I just bring them to a boil, walk away and they're done when I'm like 'oh crap, the eggs'

[JediMonk]

At 51 years old, it has occurred to me that I’ve never boiled an egg! 😅🤣 thank you!

[lydiam]

I’m embarrassed I searched “ how to boil an egg”

[HopefulWisdom_]

"To start you'll need some eggs"

I never knew that

[joandegenhardt]

I bought an little egg cooker that uses steam to cook the eggs automatically to perfection. After cooling them in cold water, they peel effortlessly. A very neat little appliance!

[tonygirard]

It works great. I've been doing eggs like this way before I saw this video. Don't have to steam though. After about 10 minutes in cold water just tap on the side of the pot or counter and they peel easily! Hope this helps.

I’ll some how manage to screw this up.

[ebaybasuki]

Great vid. Straight to the point! BTW I'd like to add, you don't have to place the eggs in ice cold water for 10 mins. A min is good enough. I normally place it under running cold (room temp) water for less then a minute then I'd start peel it and run it under more water if it got a little too hot.

For an easy peeling egg: Difficult peeling eggs are due to the egg not getting hard enough under the shell and/or not being cooled fast enough when done. The ice plunge solves the later. Simply use the first version here but leave the eggs boiling 20-30 seconds before cutting heat and covering. Reduce the overall cooking time by the extra time sustained in boiling water.

I love how you word everything. Plunge the eggs into the ice bath. Very articulate. I love your look too (your awesome grey stripe). Anyways, thanks for doing such simple instructions. I never realized all the in-betweens on boiling eggs as we rarely eat eggs (egg allergen).

[katfish]

Thank you. It took way longer than expected to find a video for boiling eggs that was both simple and clear. I just want to know how to adult, not be a home chef. This video was even better than expected too. Saved from executive dysfunction, I have been. Will be giving this many views in the future, because I will forget again.

Bị nghiện bài này từ thời Bảo Thy, ko ngờ lại có ngày được nghe idol mới trong lòng mình Đức Phúc cover lại. Cảm ơn em ĐP vì đã cover lại lắng đọng cảm xúc như vậy

[krishnavchopra]

This video was great I’m 10 and now I can also boil eggs perfectly

[SLAVAKHVOROSTJANYJ]

A great way to cook eggs. Liked. Thank.

[Lyssasimonee]

Thank you...I’m trying now for the second time. They always seem to crack on me.

[StevesStrayStuff]

The six minute eggs are fantastic, thank you for making it so easy to cook eggs!

[DesNicole]

I’m upset and out 8 eggs now. Didn’t work for me. Tried for 10 min eggs and they looked like the 6 min eggs. Also they didn’t peel well at all. I ended up with pretty much just the yolk by time peeling was done. Followed this video to a T but didn’t get the same results.

[IndianLondoner]

Thanks for this simple informative info. Easy and on point. Nice One
