Cooking with more control: The hot start technique helps you have better control over how long your food cooks. Because the water is already hot, it takes less time for it to start boiling again, so the cooking process begins right away.
To prevent cracking, do not put eggs in cold water and then heat it quickly. Using warm water first reduces the risk because the eggs experience a slower temperature change after the initial shock.
Guide to Cooking Eggs Perfectly Using the Hot Start Method
Heat water in a pot until it boils. The water should be deep enough to cover the eggs by at least one inch.
Cooking Eggs: Remove the eggs from the refrigerator right before cooking to prevent big temperature changes. Carefully place the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon or ladle to avoid breaking them.
Start the timer:
To make soft-boiled eggs, cook them for around 6-7 minutes.
For yolks that are firm but still creamy (medium-boiled), cook them for around 8-9 minutes.
For yolks that are completely solid (hard-boiled), cook for around 11-12 minutes.
