Cooking eggs is part of the standard repertoire. But there are good reasons not to prepare the white nutrient bombs like this anymore. We'll tell you how to do it better.
Boiled eggs are a quick and healthy snack, but it's time to rethink the preparation. No more unsavory green edges around the egg yolk and no more completely torn eggs because the shell cannot be removed.
A new method makes egg cooking easier
Stop boiling eggs, but steam them . Steamed eggs are more tender than boiled eggs. Since they do not roll back and forth in boiling water, they do not crack in the shell and distribute coagulated protein everywhere. Steamed eggs are also easier to peel .
Another plus: it is faster because you do not have to wait until the whole pot of water boils.

Here's how it works
Put water up to a height of about three centimeters in a saucepan. Now put a steaming insert in it, put a lid on and switch on the hob. As soon as the water starts to steam, carefully place the eggs in the steaming insert and let them steam for the desired time. Then briefly immerse them in cold water so that they stop cooking. Is this preparation method familiar to you? An egg cooker works on the same principle. But if you don't want to put a barely used electrical appliance in the kitchen, the variant with the pot is ideal.
How long do you have to steam the eggs?
Steamed eggs can be prepared both softly and hard. The duration depends on whether you use uncooled or chilled eggs. It is also a matter of experience, but the general rule is:
soft eggs | about 6 minutes |
hard eggs | 11-12 minutes |
