Directions
-
Step 1
Set your Anova Precision Cooker to 165F/74C.
-
Step 2
Get a large stock pot with water up to a boil and gently lay your eggs into the water.
-
Step 3
Boil for three minutes then plunge the eggs into a ice water bath. This accomplishes one very important thing, it just sets the outside layer of the egg. In turn, this makes pelling a breeze later.
-
Step 4
Gently place your 12 eggs into the water bath. Set the timer for one hour.
-
Step 5
Brine: In a small pot combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, and dried spices. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar and salt are entirely dissolved. Then add the ice water at the end to cool down and cut the brine's intensity.
-
Step 6
After an hour, remove the eggs and begin the process of gingerly peeling all 12. Don't forget to reset your Anova Precision Cooker to 195F/90.5C.
-
Step 7
Layer the eggs into a jar with the fresh herbs. Pour the brine over the top. *The jar is 1l / 1 qt. canister jar with a hinged lid. You can use a screw top or even bag if you want.
-
Step 8
Seal the jar and place in the water bath. Set a timer for one hour.
