About Boiled egg

A boiled egg is an egg cooked in its shell in hot water. The white becomes set and opaque, while the yolk ranges from soft and flowing to fully firm depending on cooking time; the flavour is mild and familiar.

Boiled eggs are eaten peeled, whole or sliced and may be served warm or chilled. They are sold or prepared with different degrees of doneness, and nutrition comparisons should refer to the edible egg rather than shell or accompanying seasonings.
