[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys! love eggs and the perfect soft and hard boiled eggs are beautiful thing. 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

[@dinah1954]

Downshiftology thanks for the tips. I love soft drippy eggs! Now I know the times for all the others.

[@Krso-pi8if]

3 of my eggs cracked after they were gently placed in just boiled water. :/

[@gemaffs]

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!!

[@gemaffs]

Downshiftology once again prefect eggs, thanks to you!! ☺ 😆 Thank you so much.

[@ruthsalinas9479]

Downshiftology how many eggs at a time can you cook in this method? Does the quantity of eggs make a difference in how long eggs take to cook?

[@tfnvv5469]

6 mins - soft boiled, liquidy yolk inside 6.5 mins - soft boiled liquidy yolk and a bit jammy (good for topping toast/salads) 8 mins - soft, not liquidy but jammy (good for ramen) 10 mins - medium 12 mins - lightly hard boiled 14 mins - hard boiled, best for potato/egg salads and deviled eggs Updated, clarified 6.5 min.

[@lacelevin8986]

Wait, shouldn’t the 6.5 and 8 min be switched? You say at 6.5 it’s, “a bit jammy,” and @ 8 min, “jammy.” I would think it would be the reversed

[@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.

I just finished boiling 14 perfect eggs and peeled perfectly 👌. I have never placed eggs into boiling water before. Cooked them just like you said and placed them into the cold water bath. They peeled perfectly. I still like using the back of my tablespoon to break shell and place between the membrane and the egg white on some of them to peel but not a one of them stuck and none of the white was lost. Thank you for this video and instructions.

[@etceterax144]

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

[@MB-up3mh]

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.

[@Yodaismycopilot]

I have switched to this technique. Makes so much sense.

[@Downshiftology]

It sure does! :)

[@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!

I don't have a ice dispenser or an ice cube tray so I just grab a bowl, a lid, fill the bowl up with water, put the lid on, and put it in the freezer just as I'm about to boil the eggs so that when the timer is up, the water is not frozen, but cold.

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!👍

Absolutely Awesome ! I have watched SO many "how-to" videos on hard boiled eggs. This video is incredibly simple and clear . youtube should remove ALL HB egg videos and just keep THIS ONE !

Glad it was helpful! 😊

Thank you for this great tutorial and video! I just made the 8 minutes hard boiled eggs for my rabokki. Delicious! ( I did tweaked it to 7 minutes because I didn’t have any ices - just put a bowl of cold water in the freezer for several minutes. 😅 Hey, if it works, it works.)

I like how thorough you are. Most of the videos I watch leave me with unanswered questions. Not so with this video. Nice job.

[@SamSenoSurigao]

Watched this a year ago and I’m still constantly referring back to this exact video 😂

If you have to replay it over and over ...

[@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. 🙏🏼😊

[@chrisbarr5289]

I watch every time I’m making hard/soft boiled eggs! Perfect, thanks!

[@Downshiftology]

Glad this video comes in handy Chris!

[@juliapulles697]

Thank you for this thorough tutorial. I have referred to it on numerous occasions throughout the years. When you don't make soft boiled or deviled eggs frequently, this video is a must watch. The eggs come out perfectly every single time. Thanks again.

Same ive always hard boiled them my whole life

[@alexandersuarez6835]

Learned a lot thank you. I’ve been cooking for myself for years but every once in awhile I like to go back to basics and see if I can better something.

[@Downshiftology]

It's always a great idea to refresh yourself on the basics 😊

Thank you Lisa, boiling eggs was hit and miss and getting others advice was blah blah, must be a million videos on boiling eggs but your way is so simple and consistent, that they turn out as promised.

[@talineguignard3497]

Wow! I went for the 8 minute eggs, and they are amazing. Thank you so much (:

[@arloisamaecalsina7039]

Thanks for the vid!! But how many minutes are you gonna leave the 12-minute hard boiled egg in the cold water bath?

[@Jebusite100]

Yes, she left that step out

[@rextransformation7418]

I believe she said just a minute, at 3:00

[@Jebusite100]

@@rextransformation7418 Nope, she said after a minute in the ice bath that's when she wrote the number on them. She replied to my comment and said to leave the eggs in the ice bath for about 5 minutes.

[@Jebusite100]

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

Love how perfectly explained each step is. You only missed one step for people who have never stepped foot in a kitchen... but that’s fine I’ll just google how to boil water😂

If you dont know hot to boil water then im deeply troubled for you

And how long in ice bath

You should note salt will change the cook time as it raises the boiling temp.

[@dustinalexander157]

@@rsloveeeee incredibly minimal difference

[@heather5926]

I did and it didn't help but maybe not enough salt. I'll try more next time! thanks :)
