10 Mind-Blowing Facts About the Science of Boiling an Egg Perfectly

8. Sous-Vide Eggs: Ultimate Precision for Unbelievable Textures

Want truly mind-blowing egg textures? Enter sous-vide. By immersing eggs in a precisely temperature-controlled water bath, you can hold them at the exact temperature needed to achieve specific results impossible with boiling. A 63°C (145°F) egg, for instance, held for an hour, yields a barely set, custard-like white and a warm, liquid-gold yolk – perfect for topping ramen or toast. Sous-vide unlocks textures by exploiting those specific protein setting points (#1) with unparalleled accuracy.
