INGREDIENTS

  • Eggs (as needed)
  • Water (enough to cover eggs)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Take a saucepan and add enough water to cover the eggs completely.
  2. Heat the water until it starts boiling.
  3. Gently place the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and let eggs cook for:
    • 6–7 minutes for soft-boiled
    • 9–10 minutes for medium-boiled
    • 11–12 minutes for hard-boiled
  5. Once cooked, remove eggs and place them in cold water for 5 minutes.
  6. Peel and enjoy or store for later use.

TIPS

✔ Use eggs at room temperature to prevent cracking.
✔ Adding salt or vinegar helps if shells break.
✔ Do not overcrowd the pan.
✔ For easy peeling, crack the shell from the wider end.
✔ Store boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
