4. Steam instead of boiling
Many hotel kitchens skip boiling altogether. Steaming cooks eggs gently and evenly, allowing the shells to magically slide off.
At home:
Place the eggs in a steamer basket over boiling water.
Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes
Cool in ice water
5. The Sous Vide Method
Luxury hotels often use sous vide cooking for precision cooking. Eggs cooked this way have silky whites and creamy yolks.
Don’t have a vacuum sealer? Try this trick:
Heat water to 63-65°C (145-149°F)
Cook the eggs on low heat for 40-45 minutes
Enjoy the most luxurious texture available
