The ‘optimal’ boiled egg takes 32 minutes, scientists say. We tried it.
Italian scientists say they found the best way to make boiled eggs. We tried it, and (sorry, science) it’s not worth it.
Science says this is the perfect way to boil eggs
There’s no single method to boil an egg, but a team at the Italian National Research Council’s Institute for Polymers, Composites, and Biomaterials now believe there is a “perfect” way to cook them. In order to make it, however, you’ll need some patience and a watchful eye.
Scientists Crack the Secret to the Perfect Boiled Egg — and It’s Not What You Think
After cooking the egg thusly, the researchers first studied it using spectrometry and an MR-like scanner. They confirmed that both phases (yolk and white) were cooked perfectly. They also found that the eggs had more healthy antioxidants (polyphenols) than boiled eggs, though it’s not clear why.
How to cook the perfect boiled egg, according to science
The perfect boiled egg has a velvety yolk paired with a soft, solid white. Achieving this balance can be a challenge because the yolk cooks at a lower temperature than the white. Hard boiling an egg can yield a chalky yolk, while cooking low and slow can produce jelly-like, undercooked whites.
Scientists Have Cracked The Code To Making The Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg
Making a hard-boiled egg is a seemingly straightforward process that can nonetheless be surprisingly tricky to master. However, scientists in Italy
Scientists Crack the Code to the Perfect Boiled Egg With a Game-Changing Method
Boiling eggs just got a scientific upgrade. By alternating an egg between boiling and cool water, researchers have found a way to cook both the yolk and white optimally — leading to better texture and higher nutritional content than traditional methods.
Periodic cooking: Cracking the method for the 'perfect' boiled egg
A new method pioneered to optimally cook both the yolk and white (or albumen) of a boiled chicken egg has been published in Communications Engineering. The approach, which the authors call periodic cooking,
How Do You Cook a Perfect Egg? Scientists Have Figured It Out
Materials scientists have found a way to perfectly cook an egg white and egg yolk simultaneously Hard-boiling, soft-boiling or using a trendy sous vide—no matter the approach, cooking a whole egg preserves either the texture of the yolk or the white but rarely both.
Scientists Say They’ve Found the Perfect Way to Boil an Egg. It Takes 32 Minutes and Lots of Attention
The team used computer models of computational fluid dynamics, then tested out the painstaking—yet reportedly delicious—recipe for themselves
