Instructions
Step 1
Remove the eggs from the refrigerator. Look at the packing date. Oddly enough, eggs that have lain for four days after they were packed in a poultry farm are most suitable. Too fresh will have to cook for about a minute longer.
Step 2
Before boiling, keep the eggs warm for half an hour to an hour. In this case, there is a greater chance that the shell will not burst. This is especially important if you are going to dip your eggs into a hot broth of onion skins.
Step 3
Easter eggs can be boiled in cold or boiling water. Each method has its own advantages. When placed in cold water, the shell bursts less often, but it is difficult to establish the cooking time with absolute precision. It largely depends on how quickly the hotplate heats up. However, this is not so important for Easter, since eggs are often boiled hard-boiled. When laying in boiling water, the time can be accurately calculated, but you need to lower the egg into the pan very carefully. When dyeing with onion skins, this is the method used. Therefore, choose which method suits you best.
Step 4
Before placing eggs in cold water, wash them. Place in a small saucepan and cover with a little cold water. It should only cover the contents of the pot. Bring water to a boil over low heat. After it boils, time it. Easter eggs can be not only hard-boiled, but also in a bag, and even soft-boiled. The fastest, of course, is soft-boiled - it will take only three minutes. The egg in the bag is boiled for 4-5 minutes, hard-boiled - 6-7 minutes. The exact time depends on the freshness of the eggs. If they are very fresh, the cooking time will be a minute longer.
