Perfect! We put them on salads or in saimin/ramen dishes. Also soak them to make a shoyu egg at times. Delicious!

The eggs cane out perfectly, but you have to take them straight from the fridge, don’t let them get to room temperature before cooking

One word:
“eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher”

(Having one of these tools is the real reason i eat soft boiled eggs…) German for eggshell predetermined breaking point cause, aka clack.

Question – for this timing, is it for room temperature eggs or eggs that have just come out of the refrigerator? How many minutes would it be for eggs that have just come out of the fridge?

In reply to Phoebe Moore (L&L Recipe Developer). The question is, simmer for 6 to 7 minutes after the water comes back to a simmer, or from the point of laying the eggs in the water?

In reply to John. Hi John, So sorry you were disappointed with the eggs! It sounds like your water may have been boiling a little too hard. For this timing, the eggs come out best when it's at a simmer just below boiling.

I followed the instructions to the letter and got the loveliest COLD HARD BOILED EGGS. NOT what I was after.
