The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg
Step 1 – In a saucepan lay eggs flat and cover with at least an inch of water.
Step 2 – Bring water to boil. Once it is boiling let it continue for 1 minute
Step 3 – Turn burner off and allow the eggs to stay in water for 11 to 12 minutes.
Step 4 – Remove and rinse with cold water. Crack them open and enjoy.
Above you can see a picture of a hard boiled egg using this method. The first pic is of the egg at 9 minutes, as you can see it is very runny still, the second is perfect at 12 minutes, the third is overcooked.
The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg
Step 1 – In a saucepan fill the water up to a level that will cover the eggs completely.
Step 2 – Bring water to a rolling boil, make sure it is really moving.
Step 3 – Put the eggs in gently so you do not break the shell. Make sure you do this one correctely.
Step 4 – Boil the eggs for 3 minutes for a regular size egg, for a larger egg you may need to boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
Step 5 – Run the eggs under cold water when you remove them.
