- Add your desired number of eggs to the preheated water bath and cook for 20 minutes.
- While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath. Fill a bowl 1/3 full with ice and top off with cold water until it's half full.
- When the eggs are done cooking in the water bath, transfer them from the water bath to the ice bath using a slotted spoon.
- Let sit in the ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling and serving or refrigerating.
Notes
Can I sous vide eggs straight from the fridge?
Yes! My tests were done with eggs straight from the fridge.
How many eggs can I cook at once?
As many as you like, so long as there's space for water to move between the eggs.
Can I soft boil/medium boil with the same method?
I have different instructions for soft-boiled eggs, but you can sous vide them!
