I have struggled with making soft boiled eggs for years. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I just tried this method. They came out perfectly, first time! Thank you.
Will try this method. My soft boiled eggs either come out with hard yolks or the yolk is nice and runny but the white can only be described as a snot like consistency, which isn't very appetising to say the least
Starts at 0:22 1- bring water to gentle boil, keep on medium high heat 2- put eggs in water slowly w/ slotted spoon 3- timer for 6 min 30 seconds while preparing ice bath 4a- optional ice bath after finished to stop egg cooking or 4b- put in cold water and peel 5a- after cooling completely in ice bath, store in fridge for later consumption 5b- for eating immediately - crack on surface gently when shells are cool to touch. Tip- tap bottom of egg first where air pocket is for easier peeling - then transfer back to ice water to continue to remove shell thanks chef studio! :)
This video has changed my life. I’ve struggled with cooking eggs like this for years, soft or hard boiled. I struggle to peel them. This has helped me so much. I also gently tap the bottom of the eggshell before putting it in the water to boil. Every single egg I’ve peeled using this method since I watched this video last night has come out PERFECTLY. The soft boiled eggs were amazing, and I now have them in the fridge marinating to make soy eggs for ramen! I woke up this morning and made hard boiled eggs for breakfast and again, perfect. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! 💛
Can't wait for my life to change😅... I also struggle making softboiled eggs. I always end up having an undercooked white, where it sticks to the shell when peeling.. hoping this one would work. 🥰
Woot woot! Just discovered this!! Finally did it right! You guys just need to listen to the instruction! After i dunked it on a cold iced water i then poped them in the fridge still in the water for 1min 30 sec after that i started peeling! No runny whites just perfect egg shape and a perfect soft yolk in the middle!!
0:30 the eggs can be prevented from cracking by using a pin to poke a hole in the shell at the blunt end of the egg. There is an air pocket there, and when the egg is put into boiling water, the air pressure in that pocket suddenly increases as the air heats up. If you poke a hole in the shell, the air bubbles out as it heats up, rather than building up pressure and cracking the shell. One neat side effect of poking a hole in the shell to let out the air is that as your eggs cook, they will expand and fill out the divot, so that your finished eggs won't have as large a divot at the blunt end. A really fresh egg may end up filling out the entire divot as it expands during cooking.
THANK-YOU. I am not very good with boiling eggs and recipes for this rarely go into the step-by-step they really should for those of us who are egg-impaired lol.
I love that the one thing that can make any cook argue is how to make the PERFECT any kind of egg (especially sunny side up or scrambled). Of course, only I do them perfectly 😉. Anyone heard of graved eggs? It's egg yolks cured in a salt and sugar mixture. The result is a firm jammy but almost cheese like texture. As tempting as it is to bite into it, DON'T. Grate it like cheese over pastas, sandwiches, salads, soups, pizzas, meats, for a super flavorful umami taste! What other ways are a unique way to cook or prepare the simple but versatile egg? Trying to find things I haven't done yet
Not my first time trying to boil a soft boiled eggs but your tips are magnifique! Hahahahah turned out so perfect without even have to soak it on ice water 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Not sure what I did wrong but I followed these instructions to a T and the eggs came out as a runny mess when peeling. They were crazily undercooked and it ended up just being a mess of yolk and whites all over the plate.
Does not work. I did EXACTLY what she said. Brought the water to a gentle boil, waited 6:30 minutes, and cooled the eggs in Icey water. The eggs were watery!
@chefstudio, but when I do this even at 7 mins, the egg whites peel off with the shell Is it the fault of the eggs I'm using or is there something else?
I recommend putting a piece of butter in a pan on medium heat, and spreading it around till it melts. Then put a piece of bread on it until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the other side and wait for it brown as well. Then cut the egg on top. Might be better with 2 eggs though so yolk spreads more. Don't need salt if you use salted butter, so I just put black pepper on top.
I gave this a shot and peeling the eggs is where it went sideways. I tried to push down a little to break the shell at that end, it wouldn’t break, then finally it just exploded onto me and onto the floor. No fun to clean up. I had a second egg and it worked a bit better but the inside was so soft I had to be real careful not to break it so the yolk would stay in there. Got it peeled (lost a few pieces) and threw it into my ramen. Quite good. I’ll do better next time.
K that was way harder to peel than I expected. It took a lot of patience to do it without ripping the yolk open, but I got it on my second try. Put it on my avo toast 👌:)
Thank you so much I wasn't peeling the eggs in the cold water maybe that's why half of them always cling onto the shell and go straight to trash.. also very nice narration... it made me think of sister michael from derry girls for some reason...
Forget the ice bath method.. Just get eggs straight from the fridge and put them in very warm, but not super hot water while you boil water in a pot. Once your pot of water is boiling carefully put your eggs in for 6 minutes for a perfect soft boiled egg. The time spent in the warm water gives the shells a chance to expand slowly and relax before boiling so the shells dont crack!
What sized eggs are you using here, and how should you adjust time for larger eggs?? I typically buy jumbo eggs because that's what the local market has. I know how to adjust quantities for cooking in recipes, but timing for this needs to be pretty exact - right??
Am i the only one this didnt work for? Made 5 eggs in a pot, medium gentle boil for the 6 minutes and 30 seconds, ice bath, and dropped one and even the whites are still runny. Does it need longer in a lower altitude?
This wouldn't be considered a soft boiled egg from the perspective of my 60s UK childhood. A soft boiled egg would traditionally be cooked for two minutes in boiling water. Technically your eggs in this video are medium boiled I guess.
Does it matter if it’s electric or gas stove? We have electric stove and followed these instructions but eggs were undercooked and all too runny. I tried again for 10 minutes and it worked, soft boiled with just enough runny yolk.
But what if i want my yolk a little more runny than "jammy"? Do i decrease the cook time, or the ice bath time? Or is it neither? I can't seem to find any kind of answer online anywhere... help? 🙏
Mine worked and all i used is eggs from fridge! Also after you dunk gently on ice cold water, let it cool for a couple of min in the fridge.. i did that and got the most perfect soft boiled egg i have ever done in my life 😂
I tried this but with 7 minutes and when I tried to peel them the shell kept sticking to the edge of the egg and trying to peel it broke the egg in half while trying to peel it very gently in the water.
thank you for the run them under cold water hack im looking at a ice bath like im not Chef gordon puck i don't have time or resources for these chef wolfgang ramsey tips
Yes, thank you for showing the timing for the jelly egg! My son and I go to Japanese noodle house, they have the jelly jelly egg to add up to the noodles likeness. They cooked them a little longer to allow the egg just jelly up and cook a little longer to result like a smoked egg yoke soft bite feel but not liquid ooze out.
Prior to putting the eggs into the hot water, should they sit on the counter for 30 minutes @ room temperature so they won't be as cold as they are in the frig?
The way i crack and pale my eggs is to keep the eggs in the pot after draining the water. Then shuffle and shake the pot with the eggs inside causing them to crack all over then i simply use a tea spoon to scoop under the cracked shell and run it around the egg causing the whole shell to pale right off. Works wonders for me everytime and yes i came up with this method myself.
Easiest way to remove egg shell is roll eggs gently over a hand towel until shells start getting fine cracklines all over then press a little more firmly then whole shell comes off all at once intact on the membrane
I have struggled with making soft boiled eggs for years. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I just tried this method. They came out perfectly, first time! Thank you.
For years is crazy
How I just made three on accident. 😭
@@hepalooner 😭😭
@@sloppy1287 It worked great! 7 mins for me
@@hepalooner lmaooo 😂
I don't think I've ever seen a more detailed , relaxing and chill how to video in my life. 🎉
I gave this a go today and omg my eggs turned out perfectly! I'm so happy!
Will try this method. My soft boiled eggs either come out with hard yolks or the yolk is nice and runny but the white can only be described as a snot like consistency, which isn't very appetising to say the least
Didn't work for me. Followed directions to a T and the egg whites were like water. =(
Is the ice bath optional tho?
Starts at 0:22
1- bring water to gentle boil, keep on medium high heat
2- put eggs in water slowly w/ slotted spoon
3- timer for 6 min 30 seconds while preparing ice bath
4a- optional ice bath after finished to stop egg cooking
or
4b- put in cold water and peel
5a- after cooling completely in ice bath, store in fridge for later consumption
5b- for eating immediately - crack on surface gently when shells are cool to touch.
Tip- tap bottom of egg first where air pocket is for easier peeling - then transfer back to ice water to continue to remove shell
thanks chef studio! :)
Thank you!
You da real MVP
You’re fuckin awesome thank you🤍🤘🏽
what did she do before to the video to the egg
its a 2 minute video
And yet I still failed 😂
How?! What happened?
Don't worry be happy 🎉 try again
Try and try😂😂
ROFL 🤣 😂 so cute/funny
Ah I see, a gentle boil is needed. I've been doing it wrong with a rolling boil
Can't wait to try this! :D
Better add a min to the recipe or you’ll get runny whites.
Okay now I know how to make the perfect soft boiled egg. It was explained well enough that I won’t have to stress over it in the future. Thank you 🙏

@@tanagra2If you eat eggs every day, yes. Learning to make them proper soft boiled eggs objectively changed your life. Doesn't mean it's a big change
Can't wait for my life to change😅... I also struggle making softboiled eggs. I always end up having an undercooked white, where it sticks to the shell when peeling.. hoping this one would work. 🥰
They don't mention that the eggs should be room temp to begin with.
"and just,, please" 😂
Nice video but mine came out a little too soft. I think maybe 8 minutes for me.
Great video - no frills, clear and instructive.

Do we start with room temp eggs or cold eggs straight out the fridge?
Cold eggs straight from the fridge!
@@ChefStudioChannel I keep mine on my counter. I'm thinking I would cook for a little less time?
Terrible info. Eggs need 7.5 min to achieve this.
THANK-YOU. I am not very good with boiling eggs and recipes for this rarely go into the step-by-step they really should for those of us who are egg-impaired lol.
I boiled my eggs for 6 minutes and 30 seconds and they were not done, the whites were still runny.
Turning up the temperature should fix the problem, stoves have different heating settings
Shut up and eat
i just did 9 minutes and it worked
They have to be room temperature for 6:30 to work if they are cold out of the fridge 6:30 won’t work
@@GoNZO-rs5oi The person that made this video tutorial specifically commented that she used eggs straight from the refrigerator so that's false.
Bro I followed your recipe but my eggs got busted on 5:51 only , I think 6:30 is too much time

Ive never heard of graved eggs, and I think poached eggs would be a unique way to cook the egg
Poaching in spaghetti sauce is excellent.
I never made soft boiled eggs before but this how-to is really good. My eggs came out perfectly. Thank you!! 😊
Not my first time trying to boil a soft boiled eggs but your tips are magnifique! Hahahahah turned out so perfect without even have to soak it on ice water 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Boiled for an extra minute and they still came out unfinished, one day these vile hands won’t tarnish eggs or settle for hard boiled :(
Are the eggs room temperature or cold from the fridge?
30 years old learning how to boil eggs 🙋🏻♂️
Thanks, also im making this with ramen.
edit: I DID IT
Thank you, for me getting an uncooked yolk has always been random. I loved how we'd eat them out of the shell with a small spoon as kids.
We had little egg cups to eat these from.
Shocking how many people wondering what went wrong if their eggs are too runny...
Not sure what I did wrong but I followed these instructions to a T and the eggs came out as a runny mess when peeling. They were crazily undercooked and it ended up just being a mess of yolk and whites all over the plate.
Thank you , her advice was awful i was up in this comment section and had to tell about 3 others this same exact thing
Does not work. I did EXACTLY what she said. Brought the water to a gentle boil, waited 6:30 minutes, and cooled the eggs in Icey water. The eggs were watery!
Mine tooo
Your advice sucks I did everything it still turned out shit
@chefstudio, but when I do this even at 7 mins, the egg whites peel off with the shell
Is it the fault of the eggs I'm using or is there something else?
Do we start with room temp eggs or fridge cooled eggs?
I did it. My patient wanted them like that, and they came out perfect 💪🏻 she's pleased
Add some butter to yr toast
Did not work number one bullshit
Yap, I tried it, got runny eggs. Too many boots or liars here in the comments
wrong 7 1/2 minutes 6 1 /2 you need a straw
I recommend putting a piece of butter in a pan on medium heat, and spreading it around till it melts. Then put a piece of bread on it until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the other side and wait for it brown as well. Then cut the egg on top. Might be better with 2 eggs though so yolk spreads more. Don't need salt if you use salted butter, so I just put black pepper on top.
Anyone struggling, get an Eggy Time! They’re so useful. Mine broke so now I’m watching this video so I can perfect it. 😅

Got it peeled (lost a few pieces) and threw it into my ramen. Quite good. I’ll do better next time.
Thank you for making it short and simple. Appreciate it!
one thing to make things just a little easier - make a pin hole in the bottom (flat end) of the egg. It will make peeling much easier!
Tried it, whites were not cooked
K that was way harder to peel than I expected. It took a lot of patience to do it without ripping the yolk open, but I got it on my second try. Put it on my avo toast 👌:)
Did exactly as instructed but cooked for 7 minutes. Still got raw egs
How do you re heat soft boiled eggs? Because you mentioned putting them in the fridge. Does the yolk Become dry if you re heat them
I think if you put them in the fridge you just have to eat them cold or add them to a hot meal.
Thank you so much I wasn't peeling the eggs in the cold water maybe that's why half of them always cling onto the shell and go straight to trash.. also very nice narration... it made me think of sister michael from derry girls for some reason...
Will try these tomorrow morning! Thank you so much!
Don’t try it
@@Jack-hb4dm her advice was awful , max heat boil and for 9 minutes had worked much better , ice bath still necessary though
After 6:30, some of the inner white part still left in liquid form. I’m doing anything wrong ?
Forget the ice bath method.. Just get eggs straight from the fridge and put them in very warm, but not super hot water while you boil water in a pot.
Once your pot of water is boiling carefully put your eggs in for 6 minutes for a perfect soft boiled egg.
The time spent in the warm water gives the shells a chance to expand slowly and relax before boiling so the shells dont crack!
I’m ten and I’m home alone so and I’m making ramen with eggs so I looked it up on youtube😂😂
Thank you for not trying to make this more exciting than it is. More of this appropriate energy please.
Followed instructions for the first time, a perfect soft boiled egg was made. I ran mine under a tap. Thanks for this video
Thanks for posting. These turned out absolutely perfect!

I typically buy jumbo eggs because that's what the local market has. I know how to adjust quantities for cooking in recipes, but timing for this needs to be pretty exact - right??
I LOVE this video my only gripe is that the water wasn't at a boil it was a LIGHT SIMMER otherwise this was great!

Even 7minutes and 15 seconds for me it's too little. The egg white is still a bit raw. What do you think I'm doing wrong?
This wouldn't be considered a soft boiled egg from the perspective of my 60s UK childhood. A soft boiled egg would traditionally be cooked for two minutes in boiling water. Technically your eggs in this video are medium boiled I guess.
Time adjustment for Americans keep their eggs in the fridge and Europeans dont keep their eggs in the fridge???

"Deeply unpleasant" 😂😂😂 Been giggling over that comment for a while now. Also, great video.
Thank you so much.I just did.It came out perfect just like yours❤😊
But what if i want my yolk a little more runny than "jammy"? Do i decrease the cook time, or the ice bath time? Or is it neither? I can't seem to find any kind of answer online anywhere... help? 🙏
“From here eat them, however you like. Little salt and pepper, put them on your toes.. Put them in ramen.. whatever you feel..” 😅😂
Fiery furnace of hell, great word picture. Thank you for your masterful teaching techniques.
Watched this video....put salt and pepper, put them on my toes.....this does feel kinda nice. But i don't want to eat them now.
When you are chomping down and you bite into an egg shell that's the best feeling. I don't know why the chef was so adamant to peel the shell. Huh!
this did not work. i got my egg, and followed the EXACT instructions. Idk how yall did this but Im super disappointed
Pretty sure six minutes and 30 seconds is not going to work in Colorado when I live at 7000 feet?
Why put the eggs in a container? The shell is the container.
Are the eggs room temp or from the fridge?
Mine worked and all i used is eggs from fridge! Also after you dunk gently on ice cold water, let it cool for a couple of min in the fridge.. i did that and got the most perfect soft boiled egg i have ever done in my life 😂
Thank you so much I have trouble making eggs lol, and I’m making ramen at 5:10 am😂
Rookie cook here. But don't the eggs get cold when you serve them after an ice bath? How do you serve this hot?
6.5 min was not enough time unfortunately, maybe water should’ve been boiling more intensely
So basically boil eggs for 6 and 1/2 minutes so the eggs are runny and the whites are hard?
I love this but the shell stuck to the egg, did I take out too early? Eggs were great BTW but we're so soft I could not pull at half the shell
Soft boiled is 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. I've got a 50+ year old falling sand timer that says so.
Thanks for improper way! All in. Don't keep ice in my RV! 😂👍
Wow just a complete copycat version of the other boiled egg video on youtune from 6 years ago. His eggs looked far better lol
I just put them for 3 minutes and 50 seconds on regular boiling water and they are great
What kind of oven do you use? I’m tweaking I genuinely having trouble w this
I tried this but with 7 minutes and when I tried to peel them the shell kept sticking to the edge of the egg and trying to peel it broke the egg in half while trying to peel it very gently in the water.
thank you for the run them under cold water hack im looking at a ice bath like im not Chef gordon puck i don't have time or resources for these chef wolfgang ramsey tips
How do you peel the these eggs without breaking them? I have such a hard time as the outcover sticks to the skin. I give up.
A little salt & pepper... put them on your toes... put them in ramen... whatever you feel 😂
Tried two eggs and both didn’t work. 6:30 and ice bath and couldn’t peel as all fell apart. Went to 7:30 and better but then shell stuck to egg also.

Missing the most important information: Eggs straight from the fridge or room temperature?
Garcia Laura Davis Anthony Perez Ruth
take a thermometer and give us the temp of your water. medium high is different on every stove so its terrible for keeping things consistent.
Easiest way to remove egg shell is roll eggs gently over a hand towel until shells start getting fine cracklines all over then press a little more firmly then whole shell comes off all at once intact on the membrane
Do you Americans not put them in an egg cup and cut the top of and dunk thin slices of toast in their (known as soldiers)?
1:43 How do you get rid of the egg shells in the water. Seem like a more unpleasant task than getting shells in your egg.
It doesn't work for me, I followed your instruction, I ended eating a very faw egg
