Boiled eggs, the key is to avoid the pot under cold water, teach you a trick, the eggshell will slip off as soon as you touch it, tender and delicious.
Hard-boiled eggs are a simple and delicious breakfast option, and the nutritional value of eggs should not be underestimated. However, many people often make the mistake of boiling eggs directly in a pot of cold water when making boiled eggs at home. As a result, the shell of the egg is not easy to peel off. The reason is that the cold water pot will cause the egg to stick to the bottom of the pot, and the membrane between the eggshell and the egg white will also become tight, resulting in the egg white sticking to the eggshell when peeling, making it difficult to peel off completely, and some protein will be lost.
So, is there a way to fix this?The following is a simple and easy "54321" method to ensure that the boiled eggs will slide off when touched, and they will be tender and delicious.
1.Prepare eggs: Choose 8 to 10 fresh eggs and wash them thoroughly in cold water first. Market-bought eggs usually come with dirt such as dust, chicken feathers, and chicken manure, so cleaning is very important.
2.Wash the eggs: Put the eggs in clean water and scrub the surface of the eggs carefully to remove the dirt thoroughly. The advantage of this is that the washed water can still be used, which can be used to cook porridge or drink it, avoiding waste.
3.Prepare the pot for boiling eggs: Use a clean iron pot and add enough water. In addition to the water, the key step is to add 5 grams of refined salt to the pot and 4 ml of white vinegar. This is done to lower the boiling point of water.
4.The role of vinegar: Vinegar not only makes the egg's shell easier to peel, but also oxidizes the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, making it dissolve in the yolk. In this way, in the process of boiling eggs, the degree of adhesion between the eggshell and the egg white will be reduced, which greatly facilitates the peeling.
5.Boiled eggs: Put the prepared eggs in the pot, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to medium heat and continue to boil for about 8 minutes. If you prefer to eat a slightly harder egg, you can boil it for 10 minutes. After eight minutes of boiling, the yolk is semi-solid, making it more delicate to eat.
6.Let sit for five minutes: Do not remove boiled eggs immediately, turn off the heat and let them sit for five minutes. This allows the protein to coagulate better and is easier to peel.
7.Shelling: Rinse the hard-boiled eggs in warm water and gently touch the shells with your hands to make them easily slip off. In this way, the hard-boiled egg is ready.
