Buying advice
145°F for 1 hour: jammy, spreadable yolks (breakfast favorite). 150°F for 45 min: soft whites, runny yolks. 165°F for 15 min: soft-boiled texture. 172°F for 40 min: set whites, creamy yolks (egg salad, deviled eggs). 172°F + jars for 60 min: custardy egg bites. Ice-bath and peel — sous vide eggs peel perfectly.
FAQ
What temperature for a runny yolk?
150°F (66°C) for 45 minutes — soft whites with a runny center.
How do I peel sous vide eggs?
Ice-bath first — the membrane stays loose and the shell comes off clean.
Can I make egg bites without jars?
Small heat-safe jars or bags both work; jars give the unmoldable shape.
