How much to cook eggs.

For some reason it is believed that boil eggs is a simple matter that even a man who has never been in the kitchen can easily prepare himself eggs, of course, in case of emergency. However, do not think so lightly about this process.

Few people think about the fact that when you want to cook eggs in a bag, they get hard-boiled, and vice versa. All because we never follow the time, and some just do not know how much to cook eggs in minutes to get the desired consistency of protein and yolk.

There are several ways to cook eggs.

First, they differ in the result that we get in the process. We need to decide whether to boil eggs or hard boiled eggs.

If you decide to boil soft-boiled eggs, then there are two ways:

The first: boil a small amount of water in a saucepan, then, when the water boils, gently on a spoon, put one egg in boiling water, cover with a lid and cook for one minute. Then we remove the saucepan from the fire and mark the time, exactly six minutes for the yolk to turn liquid and the squirrel curd.

If you want the yolk to be slightly cooked, you should wait another minute.

The second: the eggs are put in cold water, and after boiling, we mark the time how many eggs to cook, and after three minutes they can be extracted, they will be semi-liquid. If you hold for one minute longer, then the protein will boil more, and the yolk will remain liquid.

Now I will tell you how many eggs to boil, so that they are hard-boiled.

Put the eggs in cold water and bring to a boil, then we mark seven minutes for perfectly cooked eggs. In this case, both protein and yolk will be equally well cooked.

Then (this applies to all types of cooking eggs), after our eggs are cooked, as we wanted, we must immediately transfer the eggs from the boiling water into cold water, otherwise they will continue to cook and become either the wrong consistency (if you wanted soft-boiled) , Or even overcooked.

There is nothing worse than digested eggs. When they are cooked more than they should, an unpleasant blue-green coating appears on the yolk, and the yolk becomes dry and crumbles.

Next, I'll tell you how to clean eggs properly. If they are hard-boiled, then already in cold water you can lightly hit each egg with a spoon to crack it, then the water gets between the shells of the egg and then it is easy to clean. In order to clear the egg completely from the shell, you need to do this under running water, then all the small grains of the shell will be washed with water and will not get on your teeth. We break completely the entire shell, and then slowly clean it together with a thin shell that slides off the surface. If you did everything correctly, then the egg should be clean and perfectly smooth, white, and when cutting it you will see a yolk from yellow to bright orange. Thus, you can cook eggs as a separate dish, and as a component to other dishes.

And one more secret about boiled eggs. If the eggs are fresh (less than three days), they will not be cleaned properly. It is necessary to lay such eggs so that they lie in the refrigerator for several days, and then they can be eaten.

And finally, a few interesting facts about eggs.

It is known that the calorie content of a chicken egg increases depending on how much to cook eggs, i.e. On the degree of readiness of the protein.

The color of the shell does not affect the color of the yolk and the organoleptic properties of the egg.

If the egg emerges when it descends into the water, it is not suitable for eating.

Each egg contains amino acids, fats, minerals and thirteen vitamins, vital to the human body.

Thus, you now know several ways of cooking eggs, and therefore, will never remain hungry, provided, of course, if you have a couple of eggs in your fridge.
