The best way to cook an egg

Communications Engineering | (2025) 6 February, 2025 According to an article published in Communications Engineering, the best way to cook an egg is through a novel technique called "periodic cooking." This method allows for the simultaneous cooking of the albumen and yolk at their optimal temperatures -approximately 85°C for the albumen and 65°C for the yolk—without requiring them to be separated.
The technique involves alternately placing the shell-on egg in hot water (100°C) and cold water (30°C) for short intervals, repeating this cycle several times until both the yolk and albumen are perfectly cooked. Compared to traditional methods like hard-boiling or sous vide, this approach not only enhances the texture and nutritional content of cooked eggs but also expands their culinary applications.
