Perfect cooking: the foolproof method
There is a simple technique, approved by all those who want perfect hard-boiled eggs, without unwanted coloring.
-
Always start with cold water
Place your eggs in a saucepan, cover them with a few centimeters of cold water and heat gently.
-
Once boiling, stop everything.
As soon as the water starts to boil vigorously, turn off the heat. This prevents the egg from overheating.
-
Let it rest
Cover the saucepan and leave the eggs in the hot water:
• 9 minutes for a soft and creamy yolk,
• 12 minutes for a firm yolk, ideal for a picnic.
-
An ice bath for impeccable results
The ultimate secret: immediately plunge them into very cold water. The thermal shock stops the cooking process and prevents the formation of the infamous green ring.
-
Peel them without stress
After five minutes in ice water, the shell comes off easily, especially if you break it under a stream of water.
