Putting a mug in when boiling eggs really causes this to happen!? Shocked by the result~

How to boil hard-boiled and soft-boiled eggs at the same time

Leave eggs at room temperature

Personally, I eat a boiled egg every day. If you take the eggs out to room temperature before boiling, you can minimize cracking caused by the temperature difference.

Now, as usual, I put eggs in a pot and add enough water to boil.

What if one family member prefers fully cooked eggs and another prefers soft-boiled eggs?

 

There is a secret to boiling eggs perfectly soft and hard in just one pot.

 

 

Put an egg in a mug and fill it with water

You can simply use a mug. Put one egg into the mug and fill it with water.

Next, place the mug along with the pot in one corner.

 

 

Boiling

Then close the lid and boil for 12 minutes, the usual hard-boiled time.

 

This method was introduced on TV. If you do it this way, you can cook both hard-boiled and soft-boiled eggs at the same time with just one pot!

 

 

Boiling point difference

If you briefly open the pot lid during boiling, you can see that the boiling temperature is different, right?

They are cooked for the same amount of time, but the eggs in the pot become fully cooked while the eggs in the mug remain soft-boiled^^

 

 

Turn off the gas stove

Turn off the gas stove in 12 minutes. Rinse the pot eggs and mug eggs immediately in cold water.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be any difference. But what if you peel off the skin?

 

 

Hard-boiled & Soft-boiled

The eggs boiled directly in the pot are fully cooked, and the eggs in the mug are soft-boiled ^^

 

 

Fully ripe

Boiled eggs in a pot are perfectly hard-boiled.

 

 

Soft-boiled

The eggs in the mug are definitely soft-boiled! When boiling eggs with your family and there's a split between those who prefer hard-boiled and soft-boiled, try using a mug like this to boil them^^*
