Common Questions
What if the egg cracks?
Add a splash of vinegar to the water to prevent egg white leakage and continue cooking
Why is the yolk greenish?
Overcooking or delayed cooling can cause this - control timing and cool promptly
Why are the shells hard to peel?
Very fresh eggs are harder to peel. Use 5-7 day old eggs and cool immediately
