Foolproof Smooth and Flawless Boiled Eggs

I've been making perfectly smooth and flawless boiled eggs like this for many years.
By piercing the eggs with a pin, you are making a hole in the membrane of the egg. When an egg is boiled like this, hot water gets in between the membrane and the shell, and so the egg becomes easy to peel.
If you put the eggs in cold water, the white may come running out of the hole, so put the eggs into boiling water. For as many as you like. Recipe by Ukiuki kitchen

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the push pin ready. You can use a thumb tack, too, but it's harder to grip.
- 2
Pierce the rounded end of the egg with the pin while turning it round and round.
- 3
Pierce it completely, then remove the pin.
- 4
It looks like this. The inside of the egg won't come out.
- 5
Put the eggs in boiling water. Not cold water, boiling hot water. This is the key.
- 6
Here's an 8-minute egg. It's a bit softer than soft-boiled.
- 7
A 9-minute egg. It's perfectly soft-boiled.
- 8
A large egg boiled for 10 minutes.
- 9
Boiled for 12 minutes.
- 10
Can you see the differences between boiling for 8, 9, 10 and 12 minutes?
- 11
These 10-minute eggs were all successfully peeled.
- 12
There's no need to put the eggs in cold water. Sometimes the shell cracks when the eggs are boiling! (And sometimes the white leaks a bit from the hole.)
- 13
If you are not going to peel the eggs immediately, I recommend putting them in cold water.
- 14
Continued - if you leave the eggs as-is without putting them in cold water, the hot water inside the egg may evaporate and the membrane may get stuck.
- 15
If you leave the eggs without putting them in cold water, the yolk may continue cooking in residual heat. So if you want soft-boiled eggs, I recommend putting them in cold water.

Foolproof Creamy Boiled Eggs Foolproof Creamy Boiled Eggs
The fresher the egg, the harder it is to peel. There's a little gadget called "Egg Chef" that lifts up and makes a hole in the shell easily. You can also make the hole in the shell with a thumb tack. Opening the hole makes it easy for anyone to peel the eggs cleanly! These eggs are started in hot water, look very nice and are richly flavored.By making a small hole in the shell, you will have boiled eggs that can be shelled very cleanly. When making the hole, press in enough that you don't feel any more resistance! An egg shell is about .7 mm thick. The fresher the egg, the smaller the air pocket, so if you go too deep some of the egg whites may come out. For 2 to 4 eggs. Recipe by kebeibiko cookpad.japan -

Easy, Hands-off Soft-boiled Egg Easy, Hands-off Soft-boiled Egg
I just let the eggs sit. Microwaving can make them explode, or cook too firmly. Different microwaves also produced different results and I always had to keep an eye on them. This recipe is great because you can make other dishes while the eggs are cooking.Don't cover with a lid once you've dropped the eggs in the water. If you cover the pot, the water temperature will not go down, and the eggs will be semi-cooked or cook through. Once you've put the eggs into the pot, don't touch it (the water also cools down if your stir)! It's okay to just leave them be. 1 to 3 eggs is the ideal amount for a normal sized pot.

How To Easily Peel Boiled Eggs How To Easily Peel Boiled Eggs
I wanted to know why boiled eggs can be peeled easily sometimes and then they're impossible to peel other times. I did some research and this was the result. With this method, I have no more problems peeling boiled eggs! This method works so perfectly that I want to pass it down to my child (who's still a baby, though) and grandchildren (even thoughdon't have any yet) and to future generations!Through my research, I concluded that if the egg whites coagulate as quickly as possible, they separate from the thin inner skin of the egg, making it easy to peel.So starting with cold eggs and cold water doesn't work!!!
