Fill a pot with water and place the sous vide in the water. Set the sous vide to heat up to 195°F.
When the water reaches 195°F, place the eggs in the hot water and set your timer for 14 minutes.
After 14 minutes scoop the eggs out and place them in an ice water bath to stop the cooking.
Allow them to sit in the ice water until they are completely cooled down.
To peel the eggs crack all around the shell then peel them under running water or in a bowl of cold water. The shell will slide off easier if it is wet.
For Medium Eggs
Set the temperature to 160°F.
Place the eggs in the hot water and set the timer for 25 minutes.
Remove the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking.
For Soft Eggs
Set the sous vide temperature to 155°F.
Place the eggs in the hot water and set your timer for 20 minutes.
Remove the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking.
Notes
The whites in the soft and medium cooked eggs will be very loose and runny but the yolks will be perfect.
Make sure you wait until the water has completely heated up before you place your eggs in the water.
