Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Set a medium pot of water over high heat and wait for a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.

  3. 3

    Lower the eggs into the boiling water one at a time with a spoon.

  4. 4

    Turn the heat down until the water keeps a steady, gentle simmer, then start a timer.

  5. 5

    Cook for 12 min. This gives fully set whites and pale, firm yolks.

  6. 6

    Move the eggs into the ice bath with a slotted spoon and chill for 10 min.

  7. 7

    Tap each egg on the counter, roll it under your palm to crack the shell all over, then peel from the wide end, under a trickle of cold water if the shell sticks.

  8. 8

    Keep unpeeled eggs in the fridge for up to 1 week. Keep peeled eggs in a sealed container and eat within 3 days.
