Boiled eggs in cold water should be cooked for eight minutes.

If the eggs are cooked in cold water, you need to wait for the water to boil slowly, usually the water boiling time is 5 minutes, and then continue to cook for 3 minutes to cook the eggs inside completely, so the egg yolks will be a little dry and powdery, but it can ensure that the eggs are gradually heated and evenly cooked. It is best to boil the eggs in cold water so that the shells are less likely to crack. After the water is boiled with a low fire, then cook with a warm fire, so that eight minutes of cooking is almost the same.

Eggs must be cooked before eating, but not too long or too short. Too long cooking time is easy to cause the taste deterioration, the eggs will taste a little old is not very delicious; cooking time is too short, may not be fully cooked, which will lead to bacteria are not completely removed, so the eggs must be cooked eggs before consumption.

Boiled eggs do not crack the method

1, soak in water: add water to the pot, put the washed eggs soak for 2 minutes, don't look at the inconsequential step, don't omit it, this step allows the eggs to adapt to the temperature of the water, reduce the air pressure inside the egg. Especially just out of the refrigerator eggs, first with room temperature water to soak can greatly reduce the risk of egg cracking.

2, the water temperature should be appropriate: the eggs should be cold water into the pot, the heating process must be a slow heating process, the beginning of the fire should not be adjusted to too much, the process of heating the water temperature is also the egg with the water temperature is slowly adapted to the process, if the temperature of the water is too much, the eggs are not adapted to it, it is easy to rupture, so that the egg white will flow out of the trend.

3, the amount of water should be enough: the amount of water must be enough, more than three times the amount of eggs, water boiling time is easy to let the eggs in the pot to roll, if the water is too little, the eggs will be easy to touch the walls of the pot, which leads to broken eggs, continue to cook, then the egg white is cooked out.

4, add salt: add some salt to the water, can also prevent the egg white overflow. Because dissolved salt can accelerate the coagulation effect at the crack, and can close the crack.
