Boiled eggs are a staple in many a household, and for good reason — they’re a tasty, convenient on-the-go snack, and they’re easy to make… as long as you aren’t making some of these small but mighty mistakes. Sure you could just boil up some water, throw in a few eggs and hope for the best, but to make the best boiled eggs possible, stick to some easy guidelines. First of all, know what kind of egg your are seeking to make — soft-boiled, jammy or hard — and then take a few extra seconds to look up the cooking time if you are unsure how long an egg takes to reach that desired stage of doneness. Typically six minutes will yield a soft-boiled egg, 8 minutes a jammy egg, and 12 minutes will be perfectly hard-boiled. When it comes to boiling, make sure the pot being used is large enough and that the water is actually at a rolling boil before dropping in the eggs. All done? Great, now set a timer. The difference between a perfect egg and a disappointing one is literally a minute or two, so don’t leave anything to chance. Finally, if you aren’t eating the eggs hot, make sure to cool them down, once cooked, in an ice bath and avoid those unsightly grey rings around the yolk.
