In the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations, it happens that boiled and uncooked eggs lie in the refrigerator together. Housewives are at a loss as to which of them was cooked and which was not. This tricky task is quite solvable.
It is necessary
- - kitchen scales;
- - Smooth surface;
- - a raw egg.
Instructions
Step 1
The fastest way to figure out a boiled egg is to break the shell. Think in advance where you use raw white and yolk, if you can not find a boiled egg right away. From raw eggs you can make a delicious omelet or croutons fried in an egg filling. And at the same time, determine exactly which of the eggs stored in the refrigerator are already cooked. This method, for all its simplicity, is quite wasteful. If you don't intend to beat raw eggs, you can find a more rational solution to the problem.
Step 2
When the eggs are in the same category and look almost the same, alternately weigh the egg that is unambiguously raw and the one that is in doubt. Record the results obtained and compare them. A boiled egg will weigh a little heavier than a raw egg, since the density of its contents increases during the cooking process. It is better to weigh eggs on special electronic scales, since the difference in the weight of the products is quite insignificant.
Step 3
A more popular way of calculating a boiled egg is unwinding. Take an egg that you doubt and place it on a firm, level surface. Then unwind it with a rotational impulse. A raw egg will not be able to fully unwind around its axis, since it will be slowed down by the liquid content. Boiled, on the other hand, will rotate for a long time and almost evenly, since the yolk and white, which have undergone heat treatment, are a dense and homogeneous mass. Depending on the strength of rotation, you can also determine the degree of egg doneness. Bagged and soft-boiled eggs spin much more slowly than hard-boiled eggs.
Step 4
Once you've identified boiled eggs, eat them as soon as possible. Since such a product cannot be stored for a long time.
