Eggs

Start with unshelled eggs covered with cold water in a saucepan.

• Put pan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to below boiling and let eggs simmer.

• Soft-Cooked Eggs: remove from water 2-3 minutes after reducing heat.
• Medium-Soft-Cooked Eggs: allow 4 minutes after reducing heat.
• Hard-Cooked Eggs: allow about 15 minutes after you reduce the heat.
• Plunge Hard-Cooked Eggs into cold water immediately to stop cooking.
  
• (Note: times are for 70°. If they come right out of the fridge, allow 2 extra minutes).
