It sounds like you mean boiled eggs! I can give you a clear guide for soft-boiled, medium, and hard-boiled eggs.
How to Boil Eggs
Ingredients
- Eggs (as many as you want)
- Water
- Salt (optional, helps with peeling)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot
- Arrange eggs in a single layer.
- Cover with cold water, about 1 inch (2–3 cm) above the eggs.
- Heat the water
- Put the pot on the stove and bring water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook to your preferred doneness
| Doneness | Boil Time After Water Boils |
|---|---|
| Soft-boiled | 4–6 minutes (runny yolk) |
| Medium | 7–9 minutes (slightly creamy yolk) |
| Hard-boiled | 10–12 minutes (fully set yolk) |
- Cool the eggs
- Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water or run under cold water for a few minutes.
- This stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
- Peel and enjoy
- Gently tap the egg on a surface and peel, starting at the wider end.
💡 Tip: Adding a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of vinegar to the water can help prevent cracking.
If you want, I can also give a super quick method to make perfectly soft-boiled eggs in under 6 minutes—it’s almost foolproof. Do you want me to show that?
