Water, vinegar and salt
  • 1 tbsp salt
Bring to a boil on high heat, then cover, turn off the heat and leave 12 minutes for medium eggs or 14 minutes for extra large; eggs coagulate at 185 F / 85 C, so no further boiling is needed.
  • ice water
Transfer to ice water and cool 20 minutes.
Crack gently all over, starting at the fat end and rotating and tapping all around; peel and rinse in the same ice water.
