Nothing wrong with teaching the basics. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Andy Gait cuz I suck so much absolutely at cooking 😭
Smokes, turning a raw egg into food is cooking.
Smokes, is a raw cow food?
Smokes, is there such thing as a raw pop-tart?
lol what, I can cook a hell of a lot of foods but I cannot for the life of me get a boiled egg right. I can even do poached, which took me a good few weeks to get right. It’s not only beginners who need this :)
So pleased so many people in this comments section were taught how to boil an egg or discovered how to themselves. For those who didn't have parents who knew how to boil an egg or didn't think it was worth passing the info on this is invaluable so that people who don't know can learn. Thanks Jamie for being willing to teach the basics. This is why Home Economics should be back in Schools for everyone.
but ton very true 😂😂

@@javiswsmith1302 I'm not sure I understand your comment. Did you mean those who don't know how to boil an egg could simply ask someone? If so, what about those people who don't have someone to ask, or struggle to ask for help. We need to remember that just because we are able to do things ourselves, even apparently easy things that we couldn't imagine someone else struggling to do, doesn't mean that there aren't people who struggle with those things. It's great if you're someone who is able to ask for help and if I've understand what you've said that you have clearly got people to ask for help that's great too. Just try to remember not everyone is so fortunate.
If you really want to learn how to cook and I'm not knocking Jamie.. but try Delia Smith's "how to cook". you can say what you like about Delia but her recipes do. work. And if you live north of Birmingham you need to double the portion size. Cok this it serves 4.. Probably does darn Sarf.. But I'd read it as serves 2
One note of caution, if you live in North America:
Supermarket eggs (both regular and free-range) are usually washed prior to shipment, removing a protective coating that keeps them from becoming too porous. For that reason, eggs in North America *have* to be refrigerated to preserve their freshness, contrary to what JO says.
PhantomObserver I was just about to write exactly that. Thanks for pointing it out!
Eggs, like any other part of the chicken, are organic matter and can decompose like anything else if not refrigerated.
same thing i was going to say
Shakes First eggs are good for weeks unrefrigerated if not in USA. Cover in mineral oil and can last for a year unrefrigerated.
How would we know if the eggs sold in our country are washed or not? They aren't specified on the boxes/containers they come in (or at least, I haven't seen any brands that do). Are there any signs to look out for?
A 19 year old here! Boiled my first egg thanks to you!
I am 84 and only just learning this lifeskill. This is SUPER advanced cooking for me!!!!! a huge milestone and achievement for me to learn how to boil an egg. 😭🥚
84 and not knowing how to boil an egg is crazy ngl
Call me cold all you want, these are the people that raised our parents to raise us. We have every right to criticise
I can’t believe I’m learning to boil an egg at the age of 48.
Im 48 and am watching now
Guess I'm slightly ahead of you at 32. At least we learned something new ^^
Everyone has a start
38 here 🥴
19 here
Any other uni students? Lmao
Me lol
yes :P
you cant even boil an egg if your life depends on it....
Yes !
🙏
Good egg tips jamie!! Love it
My parental figures always had the attitude of 'It's easy figure it out' 12 years later and this is the first time I've cooked an egg well, I can cook a three course meal with two options a piece for 7 but I couldn't boil an egg well! Thank you so much Jamie for explaining the basics.
In response to the sarcastic comments here, I'm 63, have been cooking nearly all my life, and would say that boiling eggs successfully is not an easy thing to do. I, for one, am grateful for any help.
I'm 16. It is incredibly easy to boil eggs. Literally just boil water and put the eggs in the water and take them out when they are done to your preference.
Thanks, Mr Shenanigan. I've obviously been approaching it all wrong. ;-)
@@supergran1000 Yes. Obviously.
Yes. Its hasn't been long since I started cooking, and before anything else, I decided to learn how to make perfect eggs. Fried, sunny side, omellete, but one thing I could never do, was semi soft boil an egg for Raman. Probably, now I do.
@Josh Morgan I had just started a medication and I was really on edge and quite frankly and asshole for the first couple of weeks. I'm sorry about that and I will apologize to her.
I've been a pampered little kid that know nothing about cook, even boiling eggs. I'm very grateful of this video!
(Sorry for bad English)
This is the first video I've seen where the cook talks about the size of the egg and that a cold-water start depends on the pan. Obvious variables!
I'm not a great cook, but I have watched a bunch of videos on how to boil an egg. This is the best one. Thanks, Jamie.
Omg i am not ashamed to say I really needed this vid thanks Jamie my man!
Jamie : cooking is easy
Also Jamie : how to boil eggs :)
you would be stunned about the amount of professional chefs that can´t boil a medium egg :)
Would like to learn how to suck eggs!
Graham D
1. Get a straw, raw egg, and a knife
2. Make a hole inside egg
3. Get the straw in the hole in the egg
4. Your straw is now in the hole, in the egg. The hole is in the egg
5. SUCC
6. ???
7. Profit
8. Go to a hospital and stay there for a month
Sounds silly, but most of us don't actually know how to boil an egg to perfection, even if we are good cooks 😂
Lol!
Speak for yourself there chef ! 😆
Facts!
PREACH
Even Oliver can't cook an egg to perfection
The first time I’ve seen this lesson where you talk about the starting temp of the egg. Bravo! That is something every teacher forgets or assumes everyone knows.
Room temperature in the winter is likely lower than in summer. Does Jamie take account of that and add another minute or two to the boiling time? I think a spreadsheet is needed here.
These are the kinds of videos I love. In-depth discussion of basic cooking skills. I always learn something new.
Brilliant! I bought 6 farm eggs two days ago and cooked the first one to-day. 5½ mins, and followed the instructions TO THE LETTER. This gave me a firm whte and a runny yolk, exactly what I wanted ꟷ delicious, so thanks very much.
Loved ur boiled egg technique, I can mlm honestly say this is the best boiled egg I've ever eaten. Usually my eggs wind up to dry, probably cause I don't want them under cooked. But this was perfect, thank you so much.
I’m 16 and watching all these videos they’re gonna help me a lot in life glad there’s a professional teaching this stuff thanks! :)
I can poach an egg, I can make a luxurious ragu, lasagna, braised meats, smoke meats, cook Texas chili, curries, soups and stews, bake bread, and even make kimchi.
Ask me to boil an egg and I'll botch the job ever time. Until today. Thanks Jamie.
I wouldn't trust you in kitchen till you can boil something
Ps I learned to boil an egg when I was like 9
Same, can do all sorts of stuff but boiling an egg...never got the knack
Tra Gra not everyone has that luxury of being taught how to as a kid
@@tragra6257 Your social score is a 9...that is out of 100. Why such a judgmental tude?
"Absolutely beautiful", he says
meanwhile he absolutely brutalizes the eggs
Thanks Jamie! Soft boiled eggs were sheer perfection after I followed your instructions. Yay!
Bloody brilliant...heard all the tips many times...but never “all the same size’”. This works!
Excelente Jamie!!!
Nothing against the other girl on the other video... But, this style is so much better ^^
it was so obvious she's waiting for instructions from the director.
He came to fix that terrible video!
And yes😊, poor girl! Those kind of mistakes happen!
Shivani B what can women do then
Thanks for the video Jamie🥰
Thanks for listening to the comments yesterday and putting this video up. Showing the yolks and cutting out the real time ‘timer’ portions. And yes folks there really are people who never learned this basic skill.
I use the cold water, bring to a boil for 1 min and take off heat, cover and let sit method. Works very well for hard cooked eggs BUT when I lived in parts of Canada the timing differed for the same size eggs. 15 minutes in higher elevations down to about 7 minutes here at sea level. So there is no one timing that is universal, you really should let folks know that...
OMG! A recipe where he hasn't poured a bottle of olive oil on it!!!! It's a miracle!
love how jamie makes it easy for everyone compared to other chefs..
keep it up mr oliver
This is exactly what we all need. Simple stuff done correctly!
Love egg dishes from Jamie
Oh thats very challenging
I needed to do that :p
Anyways thanks 😉
workers in the back ground be like: "damn, he really do a whole vid on how to boil an egg"
Perfect... Tried it and it was perfect.. Thank you!
Ok Jamie, You are a genius, seriously. For soft egg I use to boil it for 4.30/50, never tried exact 5.30. Actually, it works. Soft and smooth inside. Chapeau bas!
Love those easy videos... Do "how to boil water" next pls!
try powdered water its easy - you just add water
Make a video on how to boil water please
Oh no, it's too hard.
😂😂😂😂😂 that is a great idea. It is so hard to do
Follow the same steps in this video and remove the egg
Good tip is to boil water in advance then freeze it so you can use it whenever you want
But where do I get water and a pot? Help!!
Thank you Jamie, have just made and followed precisely, absolutely perfect soft boiled eggs. 😀. First time perfect in years .
🥒
Thanks for solving my every morning problem😄❣️
Ha! Nailed it!!
Next lesson. How to make scrambled eggs.
Roding Entandem he has a great video on how to make scrambled eggs, might be outdated, definitely needs an updated video!
I've managed to make a beef wellington but I've actually never boiled an egg. LELELELELLELLE
Tks Oliver I did it came out perfect
Can we take a moment to appreciate how beautiful this kitchen is. Those jars in the background it all looks banging.
Next video:
How to boil water (6mins long)
Here's a caveat.... if your eggs are straight from the chicken, Jamie is correct, they don't need refrigeration. HOWEVER, if the eggs have been washed, they need refrigeration. Many places require the eggs to be washed before being sold. So ask your vender. Your eggs were probably washed (removing the protective coating that keeps out bacteria.) 💜🌞🌵
Only in the USA. It’s illegal to sell washed eggs in the Uk.
@@Swampsong117 NOT just the US. Canada and Japan too.
Thank you Jamie, yours is the only one that has worked for me...
Thank you for a video that’s- TO THE POINT! all those others out there have 5 min introductions!
Three and a half minute is the real deal, I tell you
Four and a half minutes, please! Five and a half minutes and "Waiter, this egg is overdone!" Three and a half minutes and the chicken is going to ask for its egg back. "Well, if you're not going to take it seriously..."
@@SuperLittleTyke
Apart from the egg size, water hardness, air pressure (altitude) outside temperature and the type of bird that squeezed it, the perfect egg experience depends on the taste of the eater
I would say 3-10 minutes are a good range, but ostrich eggs take longer 🐣
I use an egg cooker(steamer) with a measuring cup, no idea how long it takes, rings when ready,
just below medium on scale is ok for me, its perfect when the yolk is creamy like warm wax
@@nullkommanix7372 your over engineering your eggs, the first paragraph sounds like a pre-flight check
I watched a video by Heston on how to boil an egg. The video was 5 hours long
Lol.. his chicken takes 5 days
Excessive handling off food give people the shits,hence the fatty duck outbreak
That guy pi**es about with food too much. Just cook it already!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been doing it wrong for over a decade! Thanks Jamie for showing me the right way
For over 30 years I have been doing it wrong and my eggs are always horrible. Last night the Jamie way I had a perfect boiled egg. My family were amazed. The simple things!!!!
in my opinion salt helps not cracking as salty water has higher specific density than fresh water , so the egg has a bit more resistance on the water,so it is hit with lower power on the pan's wall. in other words, eggs in fresh water can't float,while in salty water they perhaps can float.
for me the best is to put in a small white towel
Hello Jamie thank you I always have problems with my boiled eggs they always come out very soft or very hard now I know thank you
Thanks for helping me doing my breakfast 👍🏼👍🏼
I have actually never cooked a boiled egg before! Literally had to watch this as many people do it differently. Eggs came out great and daught eat it all. Impressed I am.
I've waited for this video for 20 years
What annoys me about this is that he chops off about 20% of the egg and discards it.
Jamie you are the best
Thanks Jamie! Multumesc !!!!
Can't believe I watched this video to the end. Part 2
Howtobasic :
"TRIGGERED"
I learned the cold water technique of boiling an egg. But yesterday I tryed your way of boiling it and it works great. It's indeed a more stable way of cooking it. Thx for sharing.
I use a magic egg timer. Perfect boiled eggs every time. 👍
I dont know why my brain just dont want to remember this.
a rumour is spread that the fourth egg is still boiling. 🤷🏻♀
Now I learnt how to boil an egg! Yayyyyy :)
I knew how to boil an egg....still watches Hames Olivier boil eggs = legend 😊
DECADES OF EXPERIENCE: Human came to existence, created perfect SOP for IT, Space, and Under ground facilities, but still POOR human need to come to TH-cam and learn every time
HOW TO BOIL AN EGG?
Heart Cry... :(
Watch Alex French guy cooking for an actual interessting video on boiled eggs
Lol no.
Made this morning, 100% perfectly cooked
Commence the millions of views!!
I can't wait for the *How To Toast Bread* video so we can have some soldiers with the egg.
Next up how to boil water.
I work as an cryptocurrency trader and I would definitely recommend the job for people who are interested and don't want to go to college.
Isn't it too stressful and hard to get in?
You learn to deal with
the stress and yes it is hard to get in but worth it in the end.
Okay sounds interesting, I might give it a try.
Absolutely!Thanks for the info.
@@collinsvilleblastoise You're welcome sir!
Thank you just watched 2 tutorials that were very complicated for seemingly no reason whatsoever, I'll give it ago now it's straightforward
Lovely Jamie. Thanks for the new tips. I'm eggstatic!! ;)
wait so first he says add salt even though that scientifically makes no sense and then he says that people are crazy for believing the cold to boil method? Does he not see the irony in that?
The simple things in life 👨🏾🍳💯👌🏾
:D so simple but it works
thank you Jamie
Boiling an egg is really very tricky. I too haven’t yet reached that perfection level. Will try your method this time. I need a little advice, whenever I semi boil eggs it’s so hard to peel them. Please can you let me know the trick for peeling. I try to do it under running tap water but still so much egg get wasted along with the shells. Thanks for this video.
Thank you worked well.
Thank you so much! I love eating eggs!
tHANKS SO MUCH
yr cooking is easy i like so much
The best tips from the best chef...
شكرا جيمي للمعلومات الرائعة🌸🌸🌸🌸
Much better than the other video.
I love it
God bless you, Jamie
Thank you Jamie for a lesson most of us need. You won’t believe the number of people (myself included) don’t know how to “properly” boil an egg. Question: you keep the water boiling for the entire 11 minutes?
The best chef in the world.
BEST! 🙌
As a recently single (dumped by my fiancé) guy with no clue about anything in the kitchen this is just what I needed! straightforward instructions.
Good job sir 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you 🙏 I have messed up my eggs a couple of times now so this is really helpful!!!!💕💕👍
I think as long as the eggs start at room temperature and water stays at a simmer the time should remain the same. If you put a lot of eggs in you might need to turn up the burner to get the water temp back up after the eggs go in, then adjust the burner again once the water is back at the boil.
Thank you, that was helpful actually haha
Thank you 👏👏👏👏👍🏼
Thanks Jamie
I'm 03:56am. Can learn anytime 😂
I think I heard one of the eggs crack hehe 🤣 I wish the internet had been around like this when I was young, I had to look after myself age 15 in a bedsit alone 40+ years ago, please keep teaching the basics Jamie, I was 40+ when I learned to grill sausages.
