Personally, I love eggs, and I’d guess that I eat about six or seven a week.
I’ve even been told that I used to refuse to leave day care unless my mom promised to make me an egg salad sandwich when I got home…
So maybe I’m a bit crazy about eggs, but I couldn’t resist sharing these clever tricks for boiling eggs.
Hopefully, they’ll make your life a little easier in the future.
You’ve probably noticed that some eggs are easy to boil, while others are more difficult—even when they come from the same carton.
But did you know that eggs are not only easiest to peel, but also ideal for cooking when they’re between seven and 10 days old?
Here are some more tricks for making perfect boiled eggs
1. Are you fed up with hard boiled eggs that break when you try to peel them? Try adding a teaspoon of baking soda to the water where the eggs are. This will raise the level of water alkalinity – making it easier for you to peel the eggs.
2. This trick will tell you how old are the eggs: Put an egg in the water and see what happens. If it sinks horizontally (on the side), it’s fresh. If it sinks vertically, it’s ideal for cooking. And if it floats in the water, it’s an old egg.
3. Do your eggs crack in the water and create a big white mess? Try to sprinkle some salt in the water. This will cause a faster coagulation of the protein. So if an egg crackles, less protein comes out before the crack is sealed.
4. Eggs stored in the refrigerator are colder and more easily crushed when dropped into boiling water. To make sure they do not crack, put the cold eggs in the water before placing the pot on the water, and let them warm up with the water.
5. Are hard boiled eggs your favorite? Let them sit in cold water for a few minutes, and you will have no problem peeling them. (You can also add ice cubes to the water to cool down faster).
These are wonderful tips for anyone who likes eggs. Don’t forget to share them with friends and family!
