Are they still hard boiled eggs if the water isn't boiled? Or would you call them Sous Vide hard eggs? Well I guess this is really just a philosphical question. The end result is that you get an egg with a nice firm, but fluffly and perfect yolk center and a lovely white. It was simple enough. Sous Vide Eggs Eggs Heat water to 195. Gently add eggs. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove eggs and place in ice water. Crack shells and place back in water for a few seconds to easily remove shells. Easy peasy. Yes you can have hard boiled eggs in less time by cooking them the traditional way, but will they be cooked perfectly - maybe yes, maybe no. I 'd rather go with the sure thing and use the Sous Vide. And yes I know I've been slacking. It's the summer and I've been crazy busy. I've been cooking, just not posting.
