đ„ Get Perfect Eggs Every Time: Everything About Eggs in 5 Awesome Charts
Weâve rounded up everything you need to know about cooking and storing eggs â and laid it all out in 5 easy-to-understand, visually helpful charts. Letâs crack into it!
đĄ Chart 1: Boiled Egg Timing â From Soft to Hard
| Time in Boiling Water | Yolk Texture | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 4 minutes | Very runny | Soft-boiled, spoonable |
| 6 minutes | Jammy | Perfect ramen-style eggs |
| 8 minutes | Soft but set | Great for salads |
| 10 minutes | Mostly firm | Still creamy inside |
| 12 minutes | Fully cooked | Classic hard-boiled |
| 14+ minutes | Overcooked | Chalky yolk, rubbery white |
Pro Tip: Start eggs in boiling water and transfer to an ice bath right after cooking to stop the process and make peeling easier.
đł Chart 2: The Perfect Fried Egg â Which Style Is Yours?
| Style | Cooking Method | Yolk | White |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunny Side | Cooked on one side, no flip | Runny | Set |
| Over Easy | Lightly flipped, short second side cook | Runny | Slightly soft |
| Over Medium | Flipped, cooked slightly longer | Jammy | Firm |
| Over Hard | Flipped, cooked until yolk is firm | Fully firm | Firm |
đ„ Chart 3: Egg Substitutes for Baking (When Youâre Out!)
| 1 Egg Can Be Replaced With: | Best For |
|---|---|
| 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce | Muffins, cakes |
| 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water | Brownies, cookies |
| 1/4 cup mashed banana | Dense baked goods |
| 1/4 cup plain yogurt | Moist quick breads |
| Commercial egg replacer (e.g., Ener-G) | Vegan recipes |
These subs work great for binding and moisture, but may not fluff like eggs in things like meringues or soufflés.
