Eggs are a very common ingredient, there are many ways to cook them into a gourmet food, in these cooking methods, poached eggs are particularly easy to do.

Boiled eggs are not only easy to cook, but also less oil and salt, which will be more conducive to health after consumption. It is said that the cooking method of boiled eggs, the human body to the egg nutrients in the digestion and utilization is also particularly good. Consumption of boiled eggs have many benefits, we can of course often do often eat, but generally a person a day to one to two eggs is appropriate, otherwise consume too much easy to cause indigestion.

How much water to put in a boiled egg, to not submerge the egg problem, I think the water is more or less water can be boiled to suit your taste of the egg.

When I was on the mainland, I used to add a little more water to the boiled eggs, usually submerging the eggs, and then boil the water over medium-low heat for 3 to 8 minutes, and then put the lid on and simmer for a while.

3 to 8 minutes of time control, according to their own poached eggs old and tender degree of demand to control, 3 minutes off the fire of the poached eggs, generally loose eggs; 5 minutes off the fire of the poached eggs, the yolk has been completely solidified; more than 5 minutes off the fire of the poached eggs, I personally think it is on the old. Boiled eggs, it is best not to cook more than 8 minutes, boiled eggs too long, the yolk outside the formation of a layer of black material, such boiled eggs taste hard, and also affects the human body to the absorption of nutrients in the egg.

Now I live in Tibet, Tibet belongs to the high altitude area, cooking food will generally use pressure cooker , of course, boiled eggs are no exception.

With a pressure cooker to make boiled eggs, I usually only add a small amount of water, the amount of water almost drowned to half of the eggs can be. Poaching eggs with a small amount of water shortens the cooking time and of course saves on water and gas.

After the eggs are washed, put them in cold water, cover the pot with a good lid and open the fire (because of the small amount of water, the fire doesn't have to be turned on too much, the fire can burn to the bottom of the whole pot), the water boils on the gas and the pressure cooker's weight starts to rotate, and you have to pay attention to the time of shutting down the fire. Like to eat loose eggs, when the steelyard began to slowly rotate when you can turn off the heat; like to eat egg yolks just cooked, in the steelyard quickly rotate a few rounds after turning off the heat; like to eat the old a little bit, steelyard quickly rotate and then wait for a few moments before turning off the heat. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure cooker to cool naturally, then open the lid and remove the eggs. If you don't have time to wait for the pressure cooker to cool naturally, you will need to extend the cooking time, then pour water over the eggs to cool them down and open the lid.

With the pressure cooker to do boiled eggs, add the amount of water can also be drowned over the eggs, the same method and the amount of water is not drowned over the eggs, but the time required is relatively longer.
