Before starting to boil a chicken egg, some experienced cooks pierce it with a needle or a pushpin.
As a result, a small hole appears in the shell.
It turns out that this small hole serves one very important function.
The positive result of the life hack will certainly be appreciated by the hostess after the dish is cooked.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova told about an interesting culinary trick.
What is the hole in the shell for?
While boiling eggs, liquid will flow into this hole.
As a result, the shell will hardly “stick” to the protein. The finished dish will be easy to peel: the hard shell will literally “fly off”.
The surface of the boiled eggs will be smooth and beautiful.
How to Properly Pierce an Egg
The hole needs to be made in a specific place - at the blunt end of the egg. After all, that's where the air chamber is, and that's where the water will get into.
If you puncture the egg in a different place, the lifehack will not "work". In addition, the eggshell can crack badly.
Previously, gourmets were told about the mistakes that cause an omelette to lose volume when served.
