I love eggs, so I regard this as a long term investment.
I wanted to make a hard boiled egg that is firm on the outside, but very moist on the inside - almost oozing. Also, I want it to be easy to peel.
All eggs are 60g and past the age of consent.
Experiment 1.
Next things to try.
I wanted to make a hard boiled egg that is firm on the outside, but very moist on the inside - almost oozing. Also, I want it to be easy to peel.

Experiment 1.
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil at high heat. The water should just cover the egg.
- Carefully deposit egg in pot and keep the fire going.
- At the 45 second mark, turn off the fire. (the theory is that the initial phase will firm up the egg white on the outside).
- With lid off, just keep the pot on the stove with fire off for 12 minutes.
- At the 12 minute mark, lift egg out and shock in ice water for several minutes.
- Take egg out and put it on a grate. Then carefully, using a blow torch, keep playing flame over the egg shell all over (not staying in any one spot for more than a split second) until shell turns brittle (there is a small color change). This step is from modernist cuisine.
- Peel the egg.
Next things to try.
- Boil egg same as above, but hold egg in fridge several hours or overnight. Crack egg all over and wash in a little cold water before peeling. No blow torch used.
- At step 5 above, hold egg only for 11 minutes. Then repeat all else.
