To prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking, a number of simple rules must be followed during their preparation. Of course, you need to choose for cooking only those eggs whose shelf life has not expired.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure the eggs are fresh. To do this, put them in a container of water. If the eggs sink to the bottom, they were laid more than three days ago. Eggs a week old will float upright. A stale egg laid three weeks ago will float.
Step 2
Do not immerse eggs removed from the refrigerator directly in hot water. In this case, they will surely burst. They must be removed from the refrigerator in advance.
Step 3
To prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking, use a small container for cooking. During their preparation, monitor the water level and, if necessary, add the required amount. Boil eggs over medium or low heat, they may burst if boiled.
Step 4
Do not boil the eggs for too long, in this case the yolk will be stained with an ugly gray color, and the white will become "rubbery". To avoid this, set the timer to the desired time after the eggs have boiled. Hard-boiled eggs are boiled for 8-9 minutes, soft-boiled eggs - 2-3 minutes, eggs "in a bag" are cooked for 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
To properly squeeze, pour boiling water into a small bowl. Take your eggs and gently place them in the water. The water should cover the eggs and be 1-2 centimeters higher than them.
Step 6
Place the saucepan over medium heat, when the water boils, stop for one minute, then remove the saucepan from the stove and close it tightly with the lid. Wait a minute, then put the pot back on the heat. Cook the eggs over low heat for seven minutes.
Step 7
For boiling hard-boiled eggs, pour cold water into a saucepan, put eggs in it. Put the dishes on medium heat, wait for the water to boil, time it, and boil the eggs for the required number of minutes.
