It's not difficult at all to boil eggs so that they are easy to peel.
You just need to add one simple ingredient to the water when cooking, which is available in every kitchen.
How to Boil Eggs Properly
First, you need to take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance so that they warm up to room temperature.
Or you can put the eggs in warm water for a few minutes. This will prevent the shells from cracking when boiling.
You can also pierce the egg from the blunt side with a needle, but you need to do this very carefully.
To ensure eggs peel well, they need to be boiled in salted water (a teaspoon of salt per liter of water).
The shell will also come off easily if you pour cold water over the eggs after boiling.
In addition, eggs peel well under cold running water.
Hard-boiled eggs are cooked for 10 minutes after the water boils, soft-boiled eggs - one and a half to three minutes.
As for poached eggs, the cooking time depends on what kind of yolk you want to get.
If you want the yolk to be very liquid, cook for one and a half to two minutes. If you want it thicker, cook for 4 minutes.
