How to Cook Perfect Eggs Every Time

Eggs are a staple in many households, and cooking them to perfection can be a challenge. Here are some tips and tricks to help you cook perfect eggs every time:

Scrambled Eggs

To make perfect scrambled eggs, start by cracking your eggs into a bowl and whisking them until they are smooth. Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Pour in your eggs and use a spatula to gently stir them as they cook. Take them off the heat when they are just set, as they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat.

Fried Eggs

To fry eggs, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Crack your egg into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes for a sunny-side up egg, or 3-4 minutes for over-easy. Use a spatula to carefully remove the egg from the pan.

Poached Eggs

To poach eggs, bring a pot of water to a simmer and add a small amount of vinegar. Crack your egg into a bowl and gently slide it into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water.

Boiled Eggs

For hard-boiled eggs, place your eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. For soft-boiled eggs, bring the water to a boil and then immediately remove the pot from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 4-6 minutes.

By following these simple tips, you can cook perfect eggs every time.
