I highly recommend sousvide (or rather, a temperature controlled water bath) for eggs. For whole eggs, you can get fine-grained control over the texture of both white and yolk (see https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/the-egg-calculator https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/the-egg-calculator), and for scrambled eggs you can control the tenderness very well.
Mostly, I just skip the calculator and do in-shell eggs for 40 minutes at 62.5C or 63C. They are soft, have no salmonella concerns, and delicious served on toast or on veggies.
The water bath is also a very convenient way to make pasteurized "raw" eggs at home, so you can make raw-egg recipes with very low risk.
- joezydeco 11y agoI like this chart better for sous-vide eggs: http://www.cookingissues.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/eggchart2.jpg http://www.cookingissues.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/eggc... It's accurate and has served me well. The only downside of making eggs sous-vide is that it takes forever. If I sleep in on a Sunday morning, set up the water bath, then wait 45 minutes for egg equilbrium, it's almost lunch time...
