4. Steaming Instead of Boiling
A lot of hotel kitchens skip boiling entirely. Steaming cooks eggs gently and evenly, making shells slip off like magic.
At home:
Place eggs in a steamer basket over boiling water
Cover and steam 10–12 minutes
Cool in ice water
5. The Sous Vide Method
High-end hotels often use sous vide for precision cooking. Eggs cooked this way have silky whites and custard-like yolks.
No sous vide machine? Try this hack:
Heat water to 63–65°C (145–149°F)
Cook eggs gently for 40–45 minutes
Enjoy the most luxurious texture ever
