Soft, Medium, or Hard? How to Boil the Perfect Egg Every Time

Soft, Medium, or Hard? How to Boil the Perfect Egg Every Time

Boiled eggs may seem simple, but getting them just right can be surprisingly tricky. Too soft, and you’ve got runny yolks. Too hard, and they’re dry and rubbery. Whether you’re prepping breakfast, making egg salad, or packing lunch, the perfectly boiled egg can make all the difference.

If you’ve ever struggled with inconsistent results on the stovetop, it’s time to switch to a smarter solution — the Auto Egg Cooker, available at Ocean Multi Store. This compact electric boiler lets you boil up to 7 eggs in one go, with options for soft, medium, or hard textures — all without the guesswork.

In this blog, we'll walk you through how to boil eggs exactly how you like them, using an electric egg boiler.

Understanding Egg Doneness: Soft, Medium & Hard

Before we jump into steps, let’s break down what each level of egg doneness actually means:

  • Soft-Boiled Eggs – Whites are fully cooked, but yolks remain runny or jammy. Great for ramen, toast dippers, or a light breakfast.

  • Medium-Boiled Eggs – Yolks are partly set, creamy but not runny. These are perfect for salads or sandwiches.

  • Hard-Boiled Eggs – Yolks are fully cooked and firm. Best for lunchboxes, egg curry, deviled eggs, or long storage.

Now, how do you achieve these different textures without hovering over the gas stove?

Why Use the Auto Egg Cooker?

The Auto Egg Cooker from Ocean Multi Store simplifies the boiling process with:

  • One-touch operation

  • Auto shut-off for safety

  • Consistent results every time

  • No need to monitor or stir

  • Easy cleanup & compact design

Just fill the water, place your eggs, and press a button. The amount of water determines the texture. It’s that simple.


Water Levels = Egg Texture

Here’s a general water measurement guide:

Egg Texture Water Quantity
Soft Boiled 25–30 ml
Medium Boiled 35–40 ml
Hard Boiled 45–50 ml

Most Auto Egg Cookers come with a measuring cup that shows water levels marked for each type.

Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Boiled Eggs

Let’s go through how to use your Auto Egg Cooker to get the results you want:

Step 1: Add Water

Use the included measuring cup to add the exact amount of water for your desired egg texture. Pour it into the heating plate of the cooker.

Step 2: Place the Eggs

Place up to 7 eggs on the egg tray. You can pierce the rounded end of each egg slightly with the built-in pin on the measuring cup (optional). This helps prevent cracking and makes peeling easier.

Step 3: Cover and Start

Close the lid and press the power button. The cooker will start heating and steaming the eggs. No monitoring is needed!

Step 4: Auto Shut-Off

Once all the water evaporates, the Auto Egg Cooker automatically turns off. Your eggs are ready!

Step 5: Cool and Peel

Remove the lid carefully (beware of steam), and place eggs in cold water or an ice bath for 2–3 minutes. This helps stop cooking and makes peeling easier.

Pro Tips for Egg-Boiling Perfection

  • Fresh vs. old eggs: Older eggs peel more easily than very fresh ones.

  • Cold water dip: Always cool eggs immediately after boiling to prevent overcooking.

  • Use room temperature eggs: For more even cooking.

  • Add salt or vinegar (if boiling traditionally): Helps prevent shell cracks and easier peeling.

Creative Ways to Use Boiled Eggs

Now that you’ve mastered boiling, here are a few ideas to use those perfect eggs:

  • Soft-Boiled: Top on avocado toast, ramen bowls, or buttered toast soldiers

  • Medium-Boiled: Slice into salads or wrap in a sandwich

  • Hard-Boiled: Egg curry, egg salad, deviled eggs, or meal prep for high-protein snacking
