Some housewives perform an unusual culinary trick when preparing boiled eggs.

So, some thin wooden product is placed into the container in which the product is filled with water.

These could be matches or toothpicks.

At first glance, the action is absolutely meaningless. But in fact, an unexpected and very useful effect occurs.

Why do you need matches when boiling eggs?

If matches or toothpicks are found in the bubbling water in which chicken eggs are located, one common problem will be prevented.

This way, there will be no cracks in the shell, reports TUT NEWS .

The hard shell of the eggs will remain intact. As a result, all the protein will remain inside.

Having small wooden sticks in the ladle or saucepan will give another interesting result.

This way, the shell is unlikely to "stick" to the white. It will be very easy to peel the eggs.

Removing the calcified shell from the finished dish will not cause any difficulties for the cook.

Eggs that do not crack in boiling water and to which the shell does not stick are distinguished by their smoothness and appetizing appearance.
