วิธีทำ

1. 1

   Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by at least 1 inch. Add salt if desired to make peeling easier.

   2 minutes

   Start with cold water to prevent eggs from cracking.

2. 2

   Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled consistency.

   12 minutes

   For soft-boiled eggs, cook for only 6-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Turn off the heat and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice-cold water. Let them sit for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.

   5 minutes

   Cracking the shells slightly before placing in cold water aids peeling.

4. 4

   Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell under running water.

   2 minutes

   Peel carefully to retain the smooth surface of the egg.
