The Perfect Half Boil Eggs

YES!! No more worries!! NO more over-cooked or under-cooked half boil eggs in the morning!!

Very *embrassingly* we've been having half boiled eggs at the coffeeshop downstairs our house which usually cost $4.20 for 4 half boiled eggs together with a cup of kopi and milo. Which is enough for us to buy a whole tray of eggs and a pack of refillable milo/kopi hee so we figured we might as well do it ourselves.

But hor, we always tend to OVER cook the eggs or Under cook it, seldom ever perfect.

Then the OTHER problem is: we tend to forgot the other 6 eggs in the tray/fridge hahaha

we came along this gadget which is pretty retro cos I remember seeing my aunties and uncles use it in their homes when I was a kid, we thought it'll be fun to try it out at home hee



So after putting in 4 eggs, I filled it up to the line (with 4 eggs icon) with hot water which I just boiled....


as I was watching the water drip away into the container underneath it, I noticed some white stuff coming out of my eggs (2 of them to be exact)!
I broke the eggs!!! ARGH!!



I totally did not expect the eggs to crack when I dropped them into the container, I guess I must have been too anxious to cook them haha

so after all the water got drained away, (leaving behind 1inch which Ad claimed it will NEVER get drained away completely), we removed the eggs and tried it, yum yum, it was abit on the over cooked side but still delicious! hehe

In our 2nd attempt, we had PERFECTLY half-Boiled Eggs!! hahaha

3 reasons contribute to this success...
1. the eggs were NOT broken hee
2. the eggs were chilled (not room temperature like we just bought)
3. we removed the eggs when the water level could not drop any further ie. cannot leave the eggs with the remaining 1inch of water

So cool!

next time u come to our house and wanna eat half boiled eggs, just ASK and you will b given!!

we'll just charge coffeeshop rates hahaha
