A common mistake when boiling eggs

The product should not be cooked for too long.

Chicken eggs should be in boiling water for no more than 10 minutes.

If you break this rule, hydrogen sulfide will penetrate into the product.

As a result, the dish may become dangerous to health: serious poisoning is possible.

Therefore, do not boil chicken eggs for more than 10 minutes.

What to do with overcooked eggs

You failed to turn off the burner in time, resulting in the food being overcooked?

Is there a green coating visible on the yolk of a boiled egg?

In this case, there is only one thing left to do: throw the dish away. Unfortunately, it is not fit for consumption.
