Whether eaten on their own, cut up and served in salads, or mixed with mayonnaise and other seasonings for a delicious egg sandwich filling, there are countless uses for boiled eggs.
However, since the texture of the yolk changes depending on the boiling time, it's not always easy to get your eggs cooked just the way you want them.
Kewpie Corporation, famous for its mayonnaise, dressing, and other products, recently released a visual guide on its Twitter account that egg lovers will surely want to bookmark.
With one super convenient visual aide, they've taken all the guesswork out of the process:
At 6-7 minutes the egg is soft and runny, while at 8-9 minutes, it's slightly firm. At 10-11 minutes it's mostly firm but retains a dark yellow color, and at 12-13 minutes it is completely cooked and light yellow.
This information is true with eggs weighing 61-62 g / 2.15-2.19 oz with shells on ("large" in the US, "M" in Japan) which are taken directly from the refrigerator, submerged entirely in a pot of boiling water and cooked at medium heat, then immediately removed and soaked in ice-cold water.
Kewpie's super-convenient guide elicited numerous comments such as: "This is a good way to save time" and "This is helpful," as well as people stating their preferred boiling time, such as "I like 9 minutes" and "6 to 7 minutes is best if eaten as is."
What boiling time do you prefer for your eggs?
