When preparing boiled eggs, some people throw a match into the water.
And they do it for a reason. It turns out that the strange "additive" allows one very interesting result to be achieved.
Thus, eggs placed in bubbling liquid do not crack.
As a result, the dish turns out perfect.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova told about an unusual trick.
What happens if you throw a match into water while boiling eggs
The wooden "additive" will prevent the hard shell of the eggs from cracking.
The shell will remain intact. Nothing will leak out: all the protein will remain inside.
In other words, boiled and peeled eggs will look as appetizing as possible.
How to throw matches into water correctly
Firstly, this needs to be done while the liquid is still cold.
Secondly, it is advisable not to limit yourself to one match. If possible, use 3 or even 4 pieces.
Thirdly, the sticks should already be burnt. Otherwise, sulfur will get into the water, and this is very bad.
No matches at hand? No problem! Alternatively, you can use another wooden stick.
We are talking about a toothpick. You need to act in a similar way: throw 3-4 sticks into still cold water.
