Disclaimer

The decision to consume raw or undercooked eggs is totally your responsibility (including all potential health consequences), which I am not responsible for. Note that undercooked eggs are not recommended for infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with a compromised immune system. To prevent undercooked eating eggs, avoid any kind of egg prepared with a partially or fully runny yolk. To avoid the risk of salmonella, use pasteurized eggs only.

1. Preparation:

1.1.

Place eggs into a pot with cold water and place it on medium-high heat.

1.2.

Cook for about 12 – 13 minutes.

1.3.

After cooking is completed, place immediately into ice water (optionally, use ice to make this process even more effective). If you want to save some time and dishes, you can leave eggs in the pot and simply replace the hot water by letting cold water run into the pot placed in the sink.

1.4.

Let the cracked eggs sit and cool in cold water for at least 10 minutes. The water will get under the shell in all eggs and will make it easier to peel them.

1.5.

To keep your kitchen clean, place the shell remainders on a paper towel while peeling, and when all eggs are peeled, throw the paper towel with the shells into the trash.

1.6.

To make sure that you didn’t leave any small pieces of the shell on the egg, place the peeled eggs back into the ice water until all are peeled. Then, place them on a second paper towel to dry for a minute before using.
