How to Boil Eggs

Posted: 06 May 2018 05:00 PM PDT

Boiled eggs are a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make snack. Whether you want firm, hard-boiled eggs or soft-boiled eggs with warm, runny yolks, a few simple steps will have you enjoying your savory treat in no time.

EditQuick Overview

For tasty hard-boiled eggs, place your eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with of water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 6-15 minutes. Cool your eggs under running water before handling. To make a soft-boiled egg, bring water to a boil, then decrease the heat to a simmer and add the eggs. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, cool under running water, and enjoy! For tips on peeling and serving your boiled eggs, read on!

EditSteps

EditHard-Boiled Eggs

  1. Place up to 6 eggs in a large saucepan. Take the eggs right out of the refrigerator and set them in the saucepan. Make sure to use a saucepan large and deep enough to hold all your eggs in a single layer (not stacking any on top of the others) with some room for them to move around.[1]

    • Use eggs that have been in your fridge for 1-2 weeks. Older eggs have less moisture and a higher pH, making their shells easier to peel off when you're ready to eat.[2]
    • You can make more than 6 eggs at a time if your saucepan is large enough, but you'll need to use more water and wait a little longer for them to boil.
  2. Cover the eggs with of water. Place the pan in the sink and fill it with room temperature water until the eggs are covered by about of water.[3]

    • The more eggs you boil, the more water you'll need. If you're using more than 6 eggs, cover them with of water to ensure a good boil.
  3. Add vinegar or salt to prevent the eggs from cracking. Add of vinegar or salt to keep the eggs from cracking in the pan. Adding salt also makes it easier to peel the eggs when you're ready to eat![4]

  4. Bring the pan to a rolling boil on the stove. Place the pan on the stove and heat it on high until the water gets to a rolling boil. You can leave the pan uncovered while you boil.[5]

    • If you see an egg crack while you're boiling, continue cooking it. Some of the white might slip out of the shell a bit, but it will be safe to eat as long as you cook it fully.
  5. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for 6-16 minutes. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, shut off the heat, cover the pan, and let it sit on the burner for 6-16 minutes, depending on how hard you like your eggs.[6]

    • If you want your yolks a little translucent and runny in the middle, let them sit in the water for 6 minutes.
    • If you want a classic hard-boiled egg with a firm yolk, let your eggs steep for 10-12 minutes.
    • For hard, slightly crumbly yolks, keep your eggs in the water for 16 minutes.
  6. Strain the water and run the eggs under cold water. Pour the water out of the pan and run the eggs under cold water for a minute or so to stop them from cooking. Touch them gently to tell when they're cool enough to handle.[7]

    • To test if your eggs are done, remove one with a slotted spoon, run it under cold water, and cut it open with a knife. If the yolk isn't done to your taste, let the other eggs sit for 1-2 more minutes.
    • If you're worried about your eggs rolling out when you strain, tilt the pan over the sink while holding the lid over the opening, so that the water runs out through a crack.
    • You can also cool your eggs by letting them sit in a bowl of ice water for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Store hard-boiled eggs in their shells in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to store your eggs, remove them from the water as soon as they're cool. Set them back in their original carton to prevent them from absorbing other food odors and eat within 1 week.[8]

    • Only store hard-boiled eggs that are still in their shell. Once you peel the shell off, you should make sure to eat the egg that day.
    • If a hard-boiled egg feels slimy after you peel it, throw the egg away. This is a sign that bacteria have started to grow and the egg isn't good.[9]
  8. Tap the egg on the counter and peel the shell under cold water. When you're ready to eat, tap your egg gently on the counter to crack the shell, then roll it with the palm of your hand until the cracks have spread all over the egg. Then, hold the egg under running, room temperature water and peel the shell off.[10]

    • If you're still having trouble peeling your eggs, crack the shells and soak them in a pot of water for 10-15 minutes. Water will work under the shell, making it easier to peel off.[11]
  9. Eat hard-boiled eggs plain, as an appetizer, or on a salad. Hard-boiled eggs with a dash of salt and pepper are great for a quick, healthy snack. You can also cut them in half to make deviled eggs, or slice them up for a tasty salad topper.[12]

EditSoft-Boiled Eggs with Runny Yolks

  1. Pour water into a large saucepan and heat to a boil, then simmer. Fill your pan with enough water to cover the eggs by about . Set it on the stove over high-heat. Once the water gets to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer.[13]

    • Choose a saucepan that's big enough to hold your eggs in a single layer. For a good measurement, set your eggs in the saucepan and fill it with water, then remove them before you start boiling.
  2. Add up to 4 eggs and let sit for 5-7 minutes. Use tongs or a spoon to set your eggs in the simmering water. Set a timer for 5-7 minutes, depending on how runny your want your yolk. If you're boiling 3-4 eggs, add 15-30 seconds onto your time.[14]

    • For a runny yolk, let your eggs boil for 5 minutes.
    • For slightly firmer yolk, boil your eggs for 6-7 minutes.
    • Soft-boil in batches if you want more than 4 eggs.
  3. Remove the eggs and run them under cold water for 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to pull out your eggs one by one. Run them under cold tap water for 30 seconds to a minute so they stop cooking and are cool enough to handle.[15]

  4. Set the egg in a cup or small bowl and tap around the top to remove. Place your egg upright in an egg cup or a small bowl filled with an uncooked grain, like rice, to keep it standing up. Tap the egg around the pointy top with a butter knife to loosen it, then pull it off with your fingers.[16]

    • You won't be able to store soft-boiled eggs, so eat them right away, while they're still warm and gooey.
  5. Eat the egg right from the shell or with toast. To eat, simply spoon the egg right from the shell into your mouth. You can also slice toast into thin strips and dip them into the yolk.[17]

    • If your egg is more firmly cooked, you can carefully crack it, peel the shell, and enjoy it on toast for a warm, savory breakfast treat.

EditTips

  • If you're making hard-boiled eggs at a high altitude, let the eggs sit in the hot water for longer. You can also lower the heat and let them simmer for 10-12 minutes.[18]
  • If you're using fresh eggs, try steaming them to make them easier to peel. Pour of water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Place the eggs in the basket and steam for 15 minutes, then peel and eat.[19]

EditWarnings

  • Don't microwave an egg in its shell. The steam will build up inside the shell and make the egg explode.[20]
  • Don't pierce the shell before cooking. Though some recipes recommend this, using a non-sterile piercer can introduce bacteria into the egg. It also creates tiny cracks in the shell, which allow bacteria to enter after cooking.[21]

EditThings You'll Need

EditHard-Boiled Eggs

  • Large saucepan
  • Eggs (however many can fit in your saucepan!)
  • Water
  • of vinegar or salt (optional)
  • Slotted spoon

EditSoft-Boiled Eggs

How to Organize a Makeup Bag

Posted: 06 May 2018 09:00 AM PDT

Keeping a makeup bag organized not only makes it look nice, but it helps make finding things easier too. There is more to organizing a makeup bag than just keeping it clean and tidy, however; you have to know what to bring and what not to bring. If you pack too much into your bag, not only will it get cluttered and disorganized easily, but you also risk damaging the things inside it.

EditSteps

EditClearing Out Your Bag

  1. Empty your bag. Spread a towel out on your counter so that it doesn't get dirty. You can use an old sweatshirt or shirt instead of a towel. Open up your makeup bag, then dump everything out onto the towel.[1]

    • If the bag is dirty inside, you should wipe it down with disinfecting wipes.
    • If you can't get the bag clean, consider getting a smaller makeup bag with a nylon, plastic, or vinyl lining.
  2. Remove any trash and broken or expired makeup. This includes things like used makeup sponges, dirty Q-tips and tissues, and wrappers. If you have any makeup that is broken or expired, toss it out as well.[2]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 2 Version 2.jpg
    • Write down the brand and color of whatever makeup item you are tossing so that you can replace it with the same product.
  3. Clean your makeup cases and brushes. Get out some disinfectant wipes, then use them to wipe off any dirt or grime from your makeup cases. Clean your brushes using a brush cleaner or some water and mild soap. Take a moment to sharpen your pencils too.[3]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 3 Version 2.jpg
    • If you don't have disinfectant wipes, use a paper towel soaked in rubbing alcohol instead.
    • Be sure to set your brushes out on a clean towel to dry.
  4. Sort the items into groups. Place all of your eyeshadow into 1 group, your lipstick into another, your foundation into a third, and so forth. This will help you see how many of each item you have in your bag.[4]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 4.jpg
    • Keep all of your brushes in 1 group. If they are still drying, leave them on their towel.
    • If you only have 1 palette of blush and 1 palette of eyeshadow, you can keep them in the same group.
    • Alternatively, sort your makeup into 3 piles: a daily-use pile, an occasional-use pile, and a rarely-use pile.[5]
  5. Prune out the items you don't need or use. If you are taking the makeup bag with your to work or school, you don't need to carry everything with you. Instead of having 2 foundations, 5 eyeshadow palettes, and a whole host of lipstick, limit yourself to just 1 of each.[6]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 5.jpg
    • If you sorted your items into 3 groups, put away the items in the occasional and rarely-use piles.
    • Keep the basics. This includes things like mascara, tweezers, lotion, and Q-tips.
  6. Put everything back into the bag. If your bag has compartments, make use of them! Use skinny slots for pencils, and wider slots for mascara and lip gloss. Put palettes into pouches, and everything else into the main body of the bag.
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 6.jpg
    • If you sorted your items into 3 groups, only the items in the daily-use pile should go into your bag.

EditPacking Sensibly and Efficiently

  1. Limit yourself to the items you use daily. Don't bring all of your eyeshadow palettes with you, or all of your lipstick colors. Instead, choose 1 of each item that you use daily. Keep everything else at home.[7]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 7.jpg
    • If you are having trouble deciding which colors to bring, stick with neutral colors. These will work on a day-to-day basis.
  2. Choose combination palettes to reduce clutter. Rather than having a separate palette for bush, and another palette for contour, and a third for highlighter, consider getting a 3-in-1 palette instead. For example, get a palette that contains blush, contour, and highlighter. Another great example is a multicolor eyeshadow palette.[8]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 8.jpg
    • Some single items can have multiple uses too. For example, you can use lipstick as blush![9]
    • If your eyeshadow or blush already contains a mirror, then you won't need to pack a compact mirror.[10]
  3. Pack concealer instead of foundation to save space. The less you put on your face, the happier your skin will be. Rather than packing primer, foundation, concealer, and powder, consider packing just concealer to cover up the trouble areas, like under-eye shadows.[11]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 9.jpg
  4. Take advantage of sample and travel-sized products. Some department stores give gifts when you spend a certain amount on their products. These kits often contain miniature versions of popular cosmetic products, such as moisturizer and eye cream. They are the perfect size for makeup bags![12]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 10.jpg
    • Consider travel-sized versions of makeup wipes, Q-tips, cotton rounds, nail polish remover, etc.
    • Can't find a mini version of your favorite product? Make your own! Fill a contact lens case with your favorite lotion or makeup remover.
  5. Stick with mini makeup brushes. These take up much less space than the larger, standard-sized brushes. You can often find them in the impulse-buy bins of a beauty supply store.[13]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 11.jpg
    • If you can find mini versions of other makeup products, then get those too!
    • Keep your brushes in their own pouch. If they did not come with a pouch, use a zippered bag.[14]
  6. Wear makeup that lasts longer. One reason people carry makeup bags with them is so that they can retouch their makeup throughout the day. If you wear products that are designed to last longer, you don't need to carry as much in your bag.[15]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 12.jpg
    • Look for labels such as: long-wearing, waterproof, or smudge-proof.
    • Invest in a good primer and setting powder or spray. These can help your makeup last longer.
  7. Use a smaller makeup bag. If you find that you keep stuffing your makeup bag with extra items, swap it out for a smaller bag. This will force you to pack only what you really need.[16]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 13.jpg
    • For example, a large makeup bag may have room for 5 tubes of lipstick, but a small makeup bag will only have room for 1 tube.
    • Don't be afraid to keep multiple bags for different seasons and occasions.

EditStaying Clean and Organized

  1. Choose a bag with a nylon lining if you are buying a new one. Nylon is easier to clean than leather or fabric linings. Some bags even have plastic or vinyl linings, which are even easier to clean![17]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 14.jpg
  2. Put some makeup-remover wipes in your bag. This way, if something spills, you can get to it quickly and reduce staining. Instead of choosing a standard=sized pack, however, pick up a travel-sized pack instead.[18]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 15.jpg
    • You can find these in drug stores and beauty supply stores.
  3. Store items in plastic baggies to reduce spills. The simple plastic sandwich baggies with a fold-over top will do just fine for this, but a zippered baggie would be even better! To stay organized, keep similar items together in each bag.
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 16.jpg
    • This is not absolutely necessary. If your makeup isn't prone to spilling, then you can totally skip this.[19]
    • For example, keep all of your eyeshadow in 1 bag, and all of your lipstick in another.
    • Keep brushes that you use for dark colors separate from brushes that you use for light.
  4. Clean your bag out once per month. Take everything out of your bag, then wipe the inside of the bag clean. Next, wipe your makeup clean as well. It would also be a good idea to sharpen pencils and clean brushes.[20]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 17.jpg
    • Makeup sponges should be cleaned or replaced on a weekly basis.
  5. Reorganize your bag at the start of each season. Chances are, you won't be using the same eyeshadow, lipstick, and foundation in the summer as you would in the winter. Since you aren't keeping everything in your bag, you will need to rotate the items as the seasons change. For example:[21]
    Organize a Makeup Bag Step 18.jpg
    • As spring transitions into summer, switch your foundation out for a darker shade. Swap your blush out for bronzer.
    • As you enter fall and winter, switch out the pastel and pinky shades for deeper, richer shades.
    • Check the makeup for expiration. If it has gone bad, replace it.[22]


EditTips

  • Change the items out in your bag depending on the season or occasion.
  • Keep multiple bag for difference occasions, such as school or dates.
  • Collect samples of lip gloss, lotions, and other cosmetics. They are usually smaller and perfect for tucking into makeup bags.


EditThings You'll Need

  • Makeup bag
  • Towel
  • Disinfecting wipes
  • Makeup
  • Plastic baggies
