2. Add Eggs to Basket

Place eggs directly in the basket—no oil, water, or foil needed.

Do not stack—arrange in a single layer for even cooking.

→ If your basket is small, cook in batches.

3. Cook to Your Preferred Doneness

Soft-boiled: 9–10 minutes (runny yolk, set white)

Medium-boiled: 11–12 minutes (jammy yolk)

Hard-boiled: 13–14 minutes (fully set yolk, no green ring!)

✨ For extra-easy peeling: Add 1 minute if using very fresh eggs.

4. Cool Immediately

Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes.

→ This stops cooking and loosens the membrane under the shell.

5. Peel & Enjoy

Gently tap on the counter, roll between palms, and peel under cool running water.

Store peeled or unpeeled in the fridge for up to 5 days.
