Materials Needed:

• Fresh eggs
• Pot with a lid
• Bowl with ice water
• Timer

Steps to Boil Eggs Perfectly:

1. Room Temperature Eggs: Start with eggs at room temperature to avoid cracks from sudden temperature changes.
2. Boiling Water: Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
3. Adding the Eggs: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Use a spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water to prevent cracking.
4. Cooking Time:
   • Soft-boiled: 4-6 minutes.
   • Medium-boiled: 6-9 minutes.
   • Hard-boiled: 10-12 minutes. Adjust times for egg size and altitude.
5. Cooling the Eggs: After cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs to ice water to stop cooking and ease peeling. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
6. Peeling: Crack and peel the eggs under running water, which helps lift the shell away.

Tips for Best Results:

• Freshness: Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling.
• Consistency: Stick to the method and timing to perfect your preferred doneness.
• Storage: Keep boiled eggs in their shells in the fridge for up to a week for best freshness.

With a bit of practice, you’ll master boiling eggs perfectly every time. Enjoy your eggs, whether soft, medium, or hard-boiled!
