Scientists say they’ve found the ideal way to cook boiled eggs to maximize consistency, taste and nutrients of the egg white and yolk. You can even test it at home.

There’s no single method to boil an egg, but a team at the Italian National Research Council’s Institute for Polymers, Composites, and Biomaterials now believe there is a “perfect” way to cook them. In order to make it, however, you’ll need some patience and a watchful eye.

Hard-boiled eggs can be one of the simplest and also one of the trickiest things to make. (There's a reason you see so many hard-boiling egg hacks out there!) Getting your eggs to just the right consistency and making them easy to peel can require a lot of trial and error,

Taste experts were stunned to try out perfectly boiled eggs cooked using a new ingenuine method discovered by scientists.
