Rules for cooking eggs
Eggs are a specific and fragile product that requires careful handling.
To make the dish tasty and attractive, you need to follow certain cooking rules.
1. Do not put eggs directly into boiling water if you have just taken them out of the refrigerator, otherwise they may burst. It is better to prepare eggs for boiling in advance so that they become room temperature.
2. The correct way to cook eggs is in a small saucepan, so that the water covers the product.
3. The shell will not crack if you puncture the blunt end of the egg with a needle.
4. Cook the eggs over medium heat, without bringing them to a boil.
How to cook eggs in their shells deliciously
Place the eggs in cold water, put the pan on the fire and let it boil.
The heat is reduced and the eggs are cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
If you need soft-boiled eggs, 3 minutes is enough. Soft-boiled eggs should be cooked for 3.5 minutes, hard-boiled eggs – 7-10 minutes.
The main thing is not to overcook the egg, otherwise the white will become hard and an unpleasant gray coating will appear on the yolk.
