When we talk about boiled eggs, a lot of people may think that it is a simple matter. However, in fact, in the process of boiling eggs, there are some contraindications that we must be aware of. These taboos can not only affect the taste and food safety of eggs, but also may affect our health. Therefore, when cooking eggs, we need to pay special attention to the following "3 taboos".
The first no-no is not to overcook. The time it takes to boil the eggs is a crucial factor. Over-boiling eggs can cause the yolk to become dry and increase the hydrogen sulfide content, which can create an unpleasant odor and affect the taste. Therefore, when boiling eggs, we need to time them well to ensure that they are cooked until they are just cooked through to avoid overcooking.
The second contraindication is not to boil eggs in cold water. Many people prefer to boil eggs in cold water when cooking, which can easily crack the eggshell, causing the egg whites and yolks to flow out. The correct thing to do is to put the eggs in the water to be boiled and then reheat them. This avoids cracking of the eggshell and ensures that the boiled egg is intact.
The third contraindication is the careful handling of spoiled eggs. Eggs need to be carefully inspected before use to make sure they have not spoiled. Spoiled eggs can have serious effects on our health. We can preliminarily tell if an egg has gone bad by smelling the smell and observing the condition on the surface of the eggshell. Once the egg has an odor or cracks in the shell, it should be discarded immediately and should not be eaten.
In conclusion, we need to keep these "3 taboos" in mind when cooking eggsAvoid overboiling, boiling cold water, and eating spoiled eggs. Only by paying attention to these taboos can we ensure that boiled eggs taste good and are safe, so that we can enjoy delicious eggs with confidence.
