I've got lots more tips including how to store your eggs, how to make them easier to peel and an egg cook timing chart - all on the blog post linked in the video description box. What's your favorite recipe to make with hard and soft boiled eggs? Let me know! xo - Lisa

Downshiftology I'm forever in your debt and grateful. I love eggs and I've never been able to cook an egg soft or medium soft. And let's not even talk about a hard boiled. I always got the dreaded green line. Gross! I've tried several different methods in the past but none worked until now. You're recipe is genius!! Thank you, thank you!!

[@Andlekin]

Tip not mentioned in the video: Once the eggs are in the boiling water, let them cook for ~30sec, then gently roll them around for a minute in the boiling water. This helps the yolk set in the center of the egg. Sometimes the yolk is very close to the edge of the egg, and can be broken while peeling. This can help avoid that.

[@etceterax144]

I never got my eggs to peel properly, so I pretty much just never made them again.

Easiest to peel them is just use spoon, crack egg in the middle put spoon under egg shell and start moving spoon inside to separate shell from egg. In my experience works perfectly every time, no matter how fresh the egg is.

[@mchrysogelos7623]

@@etceterax144 DITTO here, I have watched SO many videos on how to get the egg to peel - without ripping half of the white part away. It is always hit-or-miss for me. I haven't tried this exact one yet, but I HAVE put them in cold baths after boiling and it's always a guessing game.

[@wt9767]

I boiled for 12 minutes, then instead of an ice bath I just dumped out the hot water and ran the pot under cold water in the sink for 5 minutes. Came out 100% perfect.

[@itzaaliyah6624]

I had my brightest down so when she was getting the ice i thought she was peeling them with some type of fancy machine

[@ElizabethAmanna]

After giving my eggs "just a couple minutes to warm up" they CRACKED when putting them into the pot (using my skimmer, gently placing, fire on low). So it must be the cold to hot temperature issues that caused the cracking. Then, I turned the temperature higher to start cooking the ones that survived (she does not specify how high of a flame but it looks like a simmering low boil). Suddenly, it rose so fast and almost BOILED OVER so I had to keep a low setting. The ice bowl (she doesn't clarify how long to leave them in) after 10 minutes was still not enough to cool/solidify them so I stuck that in the fridge for another 15 minutes. Then, they came out perfect :D!! The ones that survived :')

@@aprilmay1700 It's not that easy, the ice bath shocks the egg shell so it can peel easier. There is a science to it.

Thank you!! I was making a prawn nutella cake, and I wanted to know how to cook a boiled egg for my jelly pudding

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! 😊

[@bhimawaskita2540]

I had my lesson.. 7 minutes is the best.. Not runny but not too dense like eating egg yolk powder

[@thecreatoralqxx]

So you mean to tell me my mom was making me eat over-boiled eggs? She told me they need to be green because if the yolk is yellow then it's undercooked, then she mentioned something about salmonella being in it if it's yellow.

[@storycox2412]

Yeah that's false. Think about like a fried egg, yolk is always yellow

[@thecreatoralqxx]

@@storycox2412 She also mentioned something about how different races can take yolk

[@domvzc]

Wait a minute nobody told me that the green tinge wasnt supposed to be there O_o

2:30 The stopwatch? That's not really a timer. It won't ring. Are you just sitting by in the kitchen and watching the time until it hits your target, or what?

[@davefellows]

Completely agree with this technique. Only caveat is size of eggs can make quite a difference. Organic eggs here (which I recommend you only eat) vary in size a bit and so you sometimes need to adjust timings up or down a little (though, maybe eggs are all the same size in the US). Also, usually I'm eating the eggs straight away and want them still hot so I only cool them for ~20 seconds in tap water rather than an ice bath.

[@mchrysogelos7623]

No eggs are NOT all the same size in the US, you can buy different sized eggs in the store and many people raise their own chicken layers, so who knows what size those eggs will be? Also depends on the breed of hen they have. GOOD TO KNOW about only needing to cool them for a few seconds - THAT was my only real question!

[@tinamarden]

Thank you so much for sharing your technique. I've finally made the best hard boiled eggs of my life. I can now make these for my husband and have eggs available for breakfast. 🙌

[@doomsdaymonster7]

Why is everyone spending time on boiling water and then throwing eggs in? Cold water. Place on heat, test a couple of eggs. For mine, it's 12 minutes from cold to boil for the runny soft yolk. 13 for more viscous soft boiled. Saves 5 minutes of ore boiling

[@mustafasuzen22]

I really enjoy the video and that's exactly the what I was looking for for soft boiled eggs. My favorite is 8 minutes eggs. Thank you. 🙏🏼😊

[@OreenPeach]

Thank you SO MUCH!! I JUST made my first perfectly boiled eggs thanks to this video. I appreciate that I can learn the things I was not taught as a child on KZbin.

I absolutely LOVE how precise your movements are. It's soothing to watch.

My 8 eggs worked (im a preteen) without a parent I was very impressed , the 6 min eggs didn't work out for me, luckily I made 8 minute eggs, I made a sandwich, and ima enjoy em!

I still love and watch this video ...anytime I need the perfect boiled eggs 🥚. I am the 7 minutes ones. Thank you, my dear Lisa ...😊

This is the definitive hard boiled egg video. I always come back to it. So simple, so effective. Thank you.

[@mchrysogelos7623]

What makes it definitive is IF it always works for you. I have tried so many times before and have used this process before, but it was always 'iffy' as to whether I would be bringing deviled eggs to the pot luck!!! ha ha I will try this again!

[@williamcooper2502]

I'm so excited to try this!! My gas will probably get me divorced.. if I'm lucky 🙏

Thank you so much for this video! The method I learned for hard boiled eggs was definitely overcooking them. The last batch I made before this video was unappealing. I followed your instructions to the letter and tried 8 minute eggs. They turned out just like your video! Genius! I learned that the best way to eat an egg for maximum nutrition power, is for the yolk to be just like the 6 or 8 minute egg cook time, or sunny side up. The 8 minute egg was delicious 😋! Thanks again!👍

[@Tina-nz1jc]

Thank you Lisa! Lot of people think that cook an egg is easy, but they are wrong. I love eggs in every way and this video is super useful!! Thanks a lot! (From Italy)

Either she didn't say or I missed it.. what size eggs? surely that would affect cooking times
