This is correct; I have eaten at home countless times.

Why soup and eggs? They are so simple, which is why they are so difficult.

Mistakes or mistakes cannot be concealed. There is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. There is only one way to be right, but there are millions of ways to screw things up.

You may think that "I always do this", but in fact, most people don't make these things from scratch (canned soup is not "cooking"), and most people can't cook eggs well at home.

If your boiled eggs are like this:

What you did was wrong. ...

Hard-boiled eggs are like this:

(From top to bottom: well-done, medium-done, medium-done)

The gray/green ring around the yolk indicates that it is overcooked. Now you have dried the yolk like chalk.

It's hard to make a hard-boiled egg ... most people just don't know what a properly cooked egg looks like or tastes, so they won't realize that they made a mistake.

Because I have to repeat this in my comments. ...

Eggs refer to ordinary eggs; It's not just boiled eggs. Different chefs use different egg dishes as a measure. Gordon Ramsay asked every new chef he hired to cook fried eggs, Wolfgang Puck and Thomas Keller preferred fried eggs, and so on ... I used boiled eggs as an example because there is a visually obvious way to show whether it is seriously burnt; A gray/green ring around the yolk.

No, a hard-boiled egg does not mean that it must be "soft", "thin" or "undercooked". A boiled egg can be "boiled", that is, completely solidified (there is no jelly-like liquid in it). It's just that "boiling" is relatively difficult, but if you accidentally overcook the eggs, they will be burnt. Most home cooks or restaurants lack the knowledge, skills or time needed for proper cooking. Obviously, in this way, a considerable number of people began to mistakenly believe that eggs must be boiled white (that is, until a gray circle appears) before they can be "boiled until they are old". However, this is not the case.

Like steak, eggs can be cooked correctly to some extent. "If you like well-done steak or hard-boiled eggs, that's good. There is nothing wrong with this, it is a completely reasonable request. However, just as burnt ashes are different from "cooked" steaks, boiled eggs with gray/green rings around their yolks are also different from "boiled eggs".
