It seems that there is nothing complicated about boiling eggs.

However, many cooks, especially novice ones, complain that the end result is a dish that resembles “liquid snot” or “tasteless rubber.”

Our advice will help you avoid this situation.

1. Don't put eggs you just took out of the refrigerator into boiling water - they will certainly crack.

Instead, take foods out of the refrigerator early to allow them to warm to room temperature.

2. Add salt to the pan – this will increase the boiling temperature of the water and strengthen the shell.

3. Important: the water must cover the egg on all sides. Otherwise, the product will cook unevenly.

4. To avoid having to constantly check your watch, use a timer with a sound signal. Even a regular alarm clock on your phone will do.

5. If you want to make peeling eggs easier, place the eggs in a container filled with cold water after boiling.
