Foolproof soft boiled eggs – How To Guide

One of the favorite breakfast menus of my kids is- foolproof soft boiled eggs. Seriously they loved it & why not? I mean who doesn’t love the firm & the yummy runny warm yolk? But it’s not so easy, rather foolproof boiled eggs are the matter of pure science with regard to perfect timing, otherwise, it will get overcooked.

So I followed a secret that I learned from my mother since childhood & still now I hold this standard for my kids too. The secret is simple; never boil the eggs, just steam them under a resistant temperature. I prefer to use stream basket & the whole process gonna take hardly eight to nine minutes.

So hold & let’ start: how to do foolproof soft boiled eggs

Before jump to start, here are two crucial parts:

1.  Place your eggs rapidly into the pot with the cover
2.  Immediately set a clock.

It’s a good approach to adopt an advanced digital clock or set up a timer on your smartphone. Timing is crucial so make sure it is accurate. Not less or more.

Again, the size of the pot is also important.  In the event that you are soft-boiling several numbers of eggs at the same time, increase the span of the pot so the eggs fit effectively and consider utilizing a steaming crate that you can load up with eggs and drop into the pot all the eggs swiftly. Additionally, make certain to utilize eggs that are taking from the fridge.
