3. The Chef Method
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring the water to a gentle boil.
- As soon as it boils, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let eggs sit exactly 10 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to ice water immediately to stop cooking and keep yolks smooth and vibrant.
Pro tip: slightly older eggs peel more easily, and adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vinegar can prevent cracking.
