Science Just Invented a New Way to Cook Eggs—But Is It Worth It?

Eggs are so expensive, might as well go gourmet with it.  Did you hear science figured out a NEW way to cook them? 

Researchers in Italy released the study last month.  It’s called “periodic cooking,” and it’s not complicated.  But it does take a while . . . 32 minutes.

The two parts of an egg don’t cook the same.  Hard-boiling makes the egg white rubbery, which some people don’t like.  But soft-boiling doesn’t fully cook the yolk.  So they designed it to cook both parts perfectly.

It takes some dedication and TWO pots of water . . . one that’s 212 degrees, and one that’s 86 degrees.

You cook them for two minutes in the hot water . . . move them to the warm water for two minutes . . . then repeat the process SEVEN MORE TIMES.

After 32 minutes, you end up with perfectly cooked eggs.  But is it worth it?
