I won’t summarize it here, but it’s worth a read if you like to feel very in control of your egg cooking outcomes.
- nkurz 2y agoThat's a good article. I won't try to fully summarize either, but I'll mention two key differences from the method suggested above: 1) Kenji says to start with eggs cold. 2) Kenji says that baking soda doesn't make a difference. Both articles agree that the water should be boiling when the eggs are put in, and that shocking them to cool helps.
