The process of boiling eggs seems to be quite simple and does not require any special manipulations on the part of the cook.

It is believed that it is enough to put the product in a pot of water, wait a certain amount of time and then start cleaning.

However, experienced housewives have a lot of secrets and tricks that help them make the process of boiling eggs more comfortable and simple.

Not everyone, for example, knows why it is necessary to treat the shells with vinegar before cooking.

What is the meaning of this unusual action?

At first glance, this action seems strange and meaningless. However, it is a very important stage of egg processing.

The thing is that any shell can have cracks and damage, as a result of which some of the protein can "escape" during cooking. After cleaning, such a product will not look the most appetizing.

But vinegar helps the contents stay in place.

Salt has a similar effect, which should be put directly into a pot of water. For a positive effect, just one spoon will be enough.
