When you cook eggs at home, you can put a small amount of salt in the water, which can avoid the egg white sticking to the egg shell after the egg is cooked.

Time to cook eggs: eggs cooked in cold water, can be cooked with medium heat 6~7min, but at this time the eggs are 8 mature, that is, the egg yolk is not fully cooked. If you want to eat a fully cooked egg, you must boil the water and cook it on medium heat for 8~10min.

Precautions for cooking eggs

1, don't use boiling water to cook eggs. First of all, boiling water will make the eggs roll in all directions in the pot, and it is easy to break the eggshells, and even the egg white is exposed. Secondly, the protein coagulation denaturation in the egg does not require a very high temperature, usually 60 ℃ - 87 ℃ can be, while the temperature of boiling water can reach 100 ℃. If cooked in boiling water, the egg white may be as old as rubber. So when boiling eggs, you should open the lid and let the water bubble slightly, not boil.

2. Boil eggs in cool water, low heat. Boiled eggs, the beginning of the cool water, can not use boiling water, or eggs outside cooked inside still sugar thin it, I have encountered this embarrassing situation. Then reduce the heat to boiling water and cook for a while.

3, the cooking time should be short, after cooking to cool. Egg white fully cooked, the yolk is also completely solidified eggs need to be cooked for 10 minutes, but if you want a yolk tender poached eggs, about 6 minutes can be. If the eggs are cooked too long, they will have an unpleasant sulfur odor. Another thing to keep in mind is to cool the eggs in cool water as soon as you take them out of the pan, otherwise the residual heat will continue to age the eggs as they continue to heat up.
