The method is as follows:
1. Add salt to cook
When we cook poached eggs, we can wait for the water to boil and then add a spoonful of salt to the water. Then brush a layer of cooking oil on the spoon and crack the eggs into the spoon. Then slowly put the spoon into the pot, but be careful not to let the water cover the spoon. After the eggs are set, dip the eggs into the boiling water. After a while, the eggs will come off the spoon. Then cook the poached eggs for another 2 minutes. Adding salt to the water can change the density of the water so that the eggs will not touch the bottom of the tableware, preventing the eggs from sticking to the tableware and causing the eggs to break when cooked. Adding salt can also reduce the fishy smell of the eggs.
2. Do not put the boiling water into the pot
When making boiled eggs, after the water boils, it is best not to put the eggs into the pot. Instead, turn off the heat and let the water Let it rest slowly, then slide the eggs into the pot along the edge. Do not stir or turn on the heat after that. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 minute. Wait for the eggs to set before turning on the heat and cook the eggs. When cooking, it is best to cook slowly over low heat. The egg white and egg liquid will be cooked in about 5 minutes. If you want to eat soft-boiled eggs, it only takes 3 minutes. Some people also know that boiling water will easily disperse the eggs, so they put the eggs in the pot before the water boils. However, this will make the eggs take longer to cook and they will not taste so tender. After the water boils, turn off the heat and then add the eggs. This makes it easier for us to control the water temperature and set the eggs.
