Perfectly boiled eggs mean different things for everyone. But a jammy, soft, yolk and a perfectly set white never fail to please the egg connoisseurs; no matter how finicky. So how do you get the perfectly boiled egg? Follow our guide. For the eggs to cook perfectly it is important to time them right, for that purpose it is essential to boil the water before lowering eggs into the pan. This lets us know when the eggs start cooking.
So start by boiling some water and then gently lower some eggs into the pan. Make sure not to crowd the pan. After cooking the eggs for six minutes, remove from the boiling water and gently drop into an ice bath. The ice bath prevents the eggs from cooking further, which in turn gives us the beautiful jam-like yolk. Peel, season and serve.
Nutritionists say that ideally, 10 to 35 percent of a person’s diet should contain protein, and hard-boiled eggs, a quick and healthy snack, are a good source of that. Proteins are known to build muscle mass and repair tissues in your body.
They are also known to carry good fats that keep the heart healthy while providing essential vitamins including vitamins A and D. Vitamin A gives you good eyesight and Vitamin D is responsible for strong bones and teeth.
