   Gather Equipment

   Gather 4 eggs, salt, and cold water; set out a pot, lid, timer, colander, bowl, and serving plate near the sink. · 2 min

   What to look for: All ingredients measured and tools within reach.

   Cover Eggs

   Place the eggs in one layer in the pot, cover with 1000 ml cold water, add salt, and set the pot over medium heat. · 3 min

   What to look for: Water reaches a rolling boil, then settles to a gentle simmer.

   Simmer Eggs

   Simmer the eggs for 9 minutes, keeping the bubbles gentle; avoid passing 10 minutes to prevent a grey-green yolk ring. · 9 min

   When it is done: Yolk is fully set after the timed 9-minute simmer.

   Peel Shells

   Crack each shell lightly on the counter, then peel under cold water so the shell slips away cleanly. · 3 min
