Many people think that boiling eggs is a very simple process.

In fact, this culinary procedure has important nuances.

Most amateur cooks add the food to the saucepan before turning on the burner.

The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova assures: this is a mistake.

Why eggs should be put in boiling water

If a cook wants to get tasty boiled eggs, he should not allow the product to be in water, the temperature of which increases gradually.

The eggs should immediately be placed in very hot liquid.

Of course, you can't throw the product into the pan. You need to carefully place it in the container with a spoon.

If the eggs end up in boiling water, the result of cooking will be a soft yolk: the inside of the dish will definitely not be “rubbery”.

In addition, the life hack helps to maintain the correct cooking time for eggs: overcooking will certainly be prevented.

Earlier, the expert shared a recipe for an egg snack that disappears from the table faster than sandwiches with red caviar.
