So bring the eggs up to temperature with the water? That's what I've been doing my entire life. It seems kinda dangerous to try to add eggs to boiling water in the first place, splash risk. At least it's a completely unnecessary danger.
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoThat tends to make the shell sticking much worse. Kenji has a huge article he did for the NYT where he tested all this stuff at scale with like 150 people cooking eggs. You don't need the water going at a violent roll or anything, just when you see big bubbles going bottom to top is fine. You lower the eggs in with a spoon. There's no danger.

I'm not impressed by the "study's" conclusion; I mentioned in another comment, if you use the right technique, any egg will peel easily - https://youtube.com/watch?v=TmWPxDHSNWk https://youtube.com/watch?v=TmWPxDHSNWk
- voisin 4y agoI think the issue is that induction boils water so much quicker than other methods that if you start with eggs in cold water and bring to a boil (a common method), the water boils so quickly on induction that the eggs don’t warm up quite as much before the water reaches a boil. The difference in boiling time with induction is shocking.
