Buying advice
The egg temperature dial: 145°F for 1 hour = jammy, spreadable (my pick); 165°F for 15 minutes = soft boiled; 172°F for 40 minutes = set whites, creamy yolks; 185°F+ = firm, almost rubbery (avoid). In-shell is easiest — no molds needed. Add jars for egg bites and you have the full egg toolkit.
FAQ
What's the best temperature for eggs?
145°F for 1 hour — the jammy, custardy sweet spot that most people love.
Do I need special equipment?
No — in-shell eggs just need the bath. Jars unlock egg bites.

Peeled sous vide eggs keep 5-7 days refrigerated — great for meal prep.
