    This isn’t ideal because different puts at different greenhouses allows for too much variance for how long it’s coming. My or might take 3 minutes longer to boil than yours Then I have my eggs in for 3 minutes longer.

    The solution is pouring a steamer basket in a pit with an inch of water underneath. Boil the water. Yhen lay the eggs in the steamer basket and cover for 6, 9, or 12 min, depending on soft (6 min) or how hard you want it (9 for dark yellow yolk; 12 if you’rec making deviled eggs or want it almost overcoojed (imo).

    Test with your favorite timings on your poor, but the key is it will always be at the same temperature for the same amount of time — every time you cook. It’s the easiest way to get perfect consistency each time you do it.

  2. This is a very bad recipe because the following variables, amongst others, will affect how fast the pot comes to the boil, and how it will retain heat.

    1. The quality and shape of the pot
    2. The number of eggs
    3. How cold the initial cold water is
    4. The stove

    The best recipes for consistent boiled eggs either steam the eggs or start with a small amount of boiling water which will come back up to the boil very quickly after the eggs are added.
