At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing complicated about boiling eggs.
However, even when boiling eggs, it is customary to adhere to generally accepted rules and methods. Eggs can be cooked in different ways: on the stove or in the microwave, boiled, fried, baked.
There are a lot of options, but the rules are the same for everyone.
Rules for boiling eggs
Before cooking, eggs do not require additional washing. If the shell is very dirty, use a damp cloth or towel - and that's enough.
When boiling eggs, first let the water boil and then start adding them.
Cooking time depends on how you want your eggs to be cooked to the desired consistency.
In general, it is enough to boil eggs for 3 to 15 minutes. Long boiling of eggs turns into a pointless exercise. During this time, the egg will become rubbery, and the yolks may darken.
Cook the eggs in slightly simmering water, which will cover them completely, without a lid.
After cooking, cool the eggs immediately under running water to speed up the peeling process.
Cooking nuances
Now we need to talk about the most important thing: what to pay attention to when boiling eggs.
Eggs will not crack if they are at room temperature. Eggs taken out of the refrigerator should sit for 10-20 minutes, and only then can they be put into water.
When cooking, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar per 1 egg to the pan so that the whites curdle faster and do not crack in the shell.
Boiling eggs properly will help you avoid them from cracking.
