It is recommended to boil quail eggs strictly according to the time. They should not be kept on the stove longer than necessary.
Otherwise, they will lose some of their usefulness or even become harmful to health.
You need to cook quail eggs strictly according to the time so that:
- the shell was easy to remove;
- the yolk has not acquired a greenish or bluish tint;
- the protein did not become hard like rubber;
- the product retained its taste and benefits.
Subtleties of cooking
First, wash the eggs and put them in a saucepan. Fill the product with cold water so that the liquid completely covers them. To make it easier to peel the eggs, add ½ teaspoon of salt to the water.
How long to boil eggs
The time count starts from the moment the water boils. To cook soft-boiled eggs, start timing for 2 minutes.
If you need hard-boiled eggs, then count 5 minutes from the moment the water boils.
After this, remove the pan from the heat and place it under cold water. The eggs can be left in this liquid for 5-10 minutes.
This will help them cool down faster and make the shells easier to peel.
