Hard boiled eggs are easy to make but come out differently depending on the time and temperature. Using a sous vide wand seems excessive but they come out exactly the same each time. I like 170F as a temperature but can be adjusted. I cook for 30 minutes but anything between 20m and an hour would not make a different. The temperature can be adjusted to change the consistency. Dunking in an ice bath can help to solidify the egg.
