Scientists just revealed how to cook the 'Perfect' Egg.
Hard-boiled, soft-boiled or poached. Scientists have studied how to cook the perfect egg and have come up with a new recipe that they say optimises its taste and nutritional quality.

![Cooking an egg is a delicate art because the yolk and the white do not cook at the same temperature. The yolk begins to solidify at 65 degrees Celsius and the white at 85C.
• In the case of a hard-boiled egg [cooked for 12 minutes at 100C] all parts of the egg have a final temperature of 100C, well above the ideal cooking temperature, particularly for the yolk.
• In the case of egg sous vide, which is cooked between 60C and 70C, the final egg is at a temperature of 65C.
But while this is the ideal temperature for the yolk, it is much too low for the proteins in the egg white to stick together. As for the soft-boiled egg, cooked for six minutes at 100C, the authors say the egg yolk is undercooked.
The Italian polymer specialists approached the problem by simulating the process with the help of computational fluid dynamics software, which was used to simulate and analyse the flow of fluids and their interactions with solid surfaces.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/370/234/361/928/747/original/94871811e884a9ee.jpeg "Cooking an egg is a delicate art because the yolk and the white do not cook at the same temperature.

The solution, they suggest, is to use a saucepan of boiling water at 100C and a saucepan of water at 30C and to transfer the egg from one to the other every two minutes for exactly 32 minutes in total.
"It is found that a stationary state at the centre of the yolk is reached at a constant temperature of 67C," namely the mean value between the temperatures of the saucepan of boiling water and the saucepan of lukewarm water, Pellegrino Musto, one of the study's authors, said.
"Conversely, the albumen alternatively sees temperatures in the range 100–87C and 30–55C during the hot and cold cycles respectively," which allows all the layers of the egg white to reach cooking temperature, added Musto, research director at the National Research Council of Italy's Institute for Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials.
The authors then tested this method of "cooking in cycles" and found that the result was "more similar to the soft boiled when analysing the texture of its albumen, while it is very similar to the sous vide sample when considering its yolk," the study says.
The chemical analysis showed that the yolks of eggs cooked in cycles contained more polyphenols [healthy micronutrients] than hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs or sous vide eggs.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/370/235/239/110/922/original/719f7f981066b419.png "[ImageSource: Pellegrino Musto and Ernesto Di Maio]
