Perfect Boiled Eggs Every Time - Finally!

I don't know about you but I have never ever been able to make boiled eggs exactly how I like them or how anyone else likes them. I struggled to find really good no fail instructions.

A few months ago I was searching yet again for how to make my boiled eggs and I came across a method I tried out that came out perfectly. I have been using it ever since and It has not failed me yet!

Ok so here's how it goes.

Keep your eggs in the fridge. When you want boiled eggs you take the eggs straight from the fridge into the pot and cover the eggs with tap water so that it covers the eggs by 1cm.

Put a lid on the pot and put it on the stove on high. When the water starts boiling take the pot off the heat and set the time for how you want your eggs.

4 minutes = runny eggs
6 minutes = soft eggs
8 minutes = hard eggs

When the time goes off remove the eggs from the hot water and put them into cold water immediately so they stop cooking.

Enjoy!

I have been cooking hard boiled eggs all wrong all my life! Its no wonder why my eggs are so dry when i cook them that they make me choke. I cook my eggs for fifteen to twenty minutes. Way to long according to your instructions! I feel like a dumb person hahahaha! i am going to use this guide tomorrow morning when i make my eggs. I eat hard boiled eggs five out of seven mornings a week. It is crazy but im actually glad you posted this. In a way you have made my morning breakfast way better. Thank you for sharing Lynne!

LOL Jkeyz2 I am really glad to be able to help you... and yes until recently I was also doing it wrong all the time. So many different instructions online, some saying you must keep your eggs room temperature, others say you must chill your eggs. Then the water, some say boiled and some say tap water... I always justgot flustered and wrecked them every time.

I have been using this method for a few months now and never a mistake. Everyone in the family gets their boiled eggs to perfection LOL

Perfect Boiled Eggs Every Time - Finally!

Thanks for that Info. I do like boiled eggs, especially here in the Philippines, there's a type of delicacies which we called, "Tokneneng." It's a hard-boiled egg with cornflour and food coloring (orange), then deep-fried. There are a variety of sauces but The special sauce that I liked is made with vinegar, sugar, onions, and cucumber. It's very addicting to eat and I'm sure, you'll love it too.

I never heard about that before. I will look for this recipe on the internet. This is something very different. I wonder how it tastes like. Today I have learnt something new and I will prepare this for my family. This will definitely surprise them. I will try this during the weekend. I will have to look for the exact measurements on the internet.

There are tons of exact recipe that you can search on the internet especially, the sauce that I'm talking about. I'm pretty sure that you'll love this. You can also search a youtube video of those people who are eating this so you get the idea better. I'm sure you'll love this and your family. Just expect to eat more than two of these.

That's interesting. I have used eggs only to make omelettes or egg salads so far. It is always nice to try new recipes. I hope that it comes out well. How do you call that sauce?

There's actually no name of that sauce. It's just a regular sauce that contains, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, onions, cucumber, etc. I'm not entirely sure the exact recipe. Maybe, when you find a recipe for Tokneneng, it also comes with the recipe for the sauces.

This is actually a good tips but my own way of cooking it is boiled it in a pot then wait for the water to boiled then add another 5-6 minutes before it's officially done. I guess I'm cooking it in a wrong way XD. I think the way I cooked it with no lid on the pot makes more time consuming and slow to cook.

I've never had a problem boiling eggs before. I always keep mine in the fridge (not sure who doesn't?). I just take out two or 3, boil them in water and normally when the water has dissipated enough I turn them off, let them cool and then shell them. Before I eat them.
