What do you if have cooked hard boiled eggs but there not done?
It's frustrating when you've boiled your eggs, thinking they're done, and they're still jiggly in the middle! Here's what you can do:
1. Assess the situation:
* How jiggly is it? If it's just a little soft, you might be able to salvage it. If it's very runny, you'll likely need to start over.
* How much time have you already boiled them? Boiled eggs generally take around 6-8 minutes for soft boiled, 8-10 minutes for medium, and 10-12 minutes for hard boiled.
* What's your desired outcome? Do you want a soft boiled egg or a hard boiled egg?
2. Options:
* Soft boiled: If you're going for soft boiled, you can just eat them as is.
* Medium boiled: If you want medium boiled, you can just pop them back into the boiling water for another minute or two.
* Hard boiled: If you want hard boiled and they're only slightly soft, put them back in the boiling water for another 2-3 minutes, then check again.
3. Start over:
* If your eggs are very undercooked, it's probably best to drain the water, let the eggs cool, and then start the boiling process again.
Tips for getting perfect hard boiled eggs:
* Use older eggs: Older eggs peel more easily and are less likely to crack.
* Add salt to the water: This helps prevent the eggs from cracking.
* Don't overcook: Overcooked eggs can have a rubbery yolk.
* Shock them with cold water: Immediately after boiling, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes them easier to peel.
