Do you put the eggs in before the water boils?

2 Answers

You can put them in before or after the water is boiling. If you put the eggs in prior to the water boiling, bring it to a boil, remove from heat and cover for 14 minutes. If you put the eggs in after it’s boiling, leave them in the boiling water for 8 minutes. Pro tip: add a splash of vinegar.
