Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs

  • Here's an easy tutorial on how to cook soft boiled eggs perfectly every time.
    METHOD:
    Place your eggs into gently boiling water for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Transfer them to an ice bath or rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Gently crack the shells of the cooked eggs on a hard surface starting with the wide base of the egg. For easier, faster peeling, peel the eggs in water, this also helps ensure there aren't any bits of extra shell on the egg itself. Serve and enjoy.
    //BOILED EGG FAQ
    ~How long can you keep soft boiled eggs?
    You can keep soft boiled eggs for up 2 days in the fridge with the shell on. As the yolks aren't fully cooked, they don't keep as long as hard boiled eggs.
    ~How do you reheat soft boiled eggs?
    To reheat fridge cold eggs, place them in boiling water for 3 and a half minutes.
    ~How many can you cook at a time?
    In a medium sized pot, 4 eggs at a time is best. In a larger pot, you can cook 8 at a time. Remember, the fridge cold eggs will cool the water around them so adding too many will change the cooking time required.
    ~What size egg did you use?
    I used standard, North American, large eggs.
    ~What temperature do the eggs have to be before boiling?
    For this specific tutorial, the eggs I used are cold and straight from the refrigerator. Room temperature eggs will cook more quickly (typically needing about 5 minutes).

    Starts at 0:22
    1- bring water to gentle boil, keep on medium high heat
    2- put eggs in water slowly w/ slotted spoon
    3- timer for 6 min 30 seconds while preparing ice bath
    4a- optional ice bath after finished to stop egg cooking
    or
    4b- put in cold water and peel
    5a- after cooling completely in ice bath, store in fridge for later consumption
    5b- for eating immediately - crack on surface gently when shells are cool to touch.
    Tip- tap bottom of egg first where air pocket is for easier peeling - then transfer back to ice water to continue to remove shell
    thanks chef studio! :)

    This video has changed my life. I’ve struggled with cooking eggs like this for years, soft or hard boiled. I struggle to peel them. This has helped me so much. I also gently tap the bottom of the eggshell before putting it in the water to boil. Every single egg I’ve peeled using this method since I watched this video last night has come out PERFECTLY. The soft boiled eggs were amazing, and I now have them in the fridge marinating to make soy eggs for ramen! I woke up this morning and made hard boiled eggs for breakfast and again, perfect. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! 💛

    Yes, thank you for showing the timing for the jelly egg! My son and I go to Japanese noodle house, they have the jelly jelly egg to add up to the noodles likeness. They cooked them a little longer to allow the egg just jelly up and cook a little longer to result like a smoked egg yoke soft bite feel but not liquid ooze out.

  • @Berkana
    @Berkana Před 11 měsíci +4

    0:30 the eggs can be prevented from cracking by using a pin to poke a hole in the shell at the blunt end of the egg. There is an air pocket there, and when the egg is put into boiling water, the air pressure in that pocket suddenly increases as the air heats up. If you poke a hole in the shell, the air bubbles out as it heats up, rather than building up pressure and cracking the shell.
    One neat side effect of poking a hole in the shell to let out the air is that as your eggs cook, they will expand and fill out the divot, so that your finished eggs won't have as large a divot at the blunt end. A really fresh egg may end up filling out the entire divot as it expands during cooking.

    I recommend putting a piece of butter in a pan on medium heat, and spreading it around till it melts. Then put a piece of bread on it until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the other side and wait for it brown as well. Then cut the egg on top. Might be better with 2 eggs though so yolk spreads more. Don't need salt if you use salted butter, so I just put black pepper on top.

    Anyone heard of graved eggs? It's egg yolks cured in a salt and sugar mixture. The result is a firm jammy but almost cheese like texture. As tempting as it is to bite into it, DON'T. Grate it like cheese over pastas, sandwiches, salads, soups, pizzas, meats, for a super flavorful umami taste!

    I gave this a shot and peeling the eggs is where it went sideways. I tried to push down a little to break the shell at that end, it wouldn’t break, then finally it just exploded onto me and onto the floor. No fun to clean up. I had a second egg and it worked a bit better but the inside was so soft I had to be real careful not to break it so the yolk would stay in there. Got it peeled (lost a few pieces) and threw it into my ramen. Quite good. I’ll do better next time.
