[EBS입트영 6/3 Mon] How to Boil an Egg / 달걀을 잘 삶는 방법

I like boiled eggs, but I prefer them soft-boiled rather than hard-boiled.

When I ask people how to boil eggs, they usually say to put enough water to cover the eggs in a pot and boil them for 10 to 15 minutes.

However, there’s a much better way.

First, I take the eggs out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

Then, I put enough water to immerse the eggs halfway in a small, shallow pot and boil them.

A cheap nickel-silver pot from the market is just the thing.

I boil the eggs for about 3 minutes on a gas stove or 4 minutes on an induction stove, and turn off the heat.

I let them sit for about 7 minutes, and then cool them down with cold water.

This way, I get perfectly soft-boiled eggs and I can save a lot on gas or electricity.
