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
