How long to boil eggs after boiling water

Eggs are a healthy and tasty product. They can be used as an independent dish or as part of another dish, adding toppings to salads.

Eggs can be soft-boiled, bagged or hard-boiled. The result will depend on the cooking time of the eggs. But even here everything is not so simple. The correct time is sometimes difficult to calculate due to the fact that it depends both on the degree of freshness of the eggs (fresh, 2-3 day old eggs, should be boiled a little longer), and on the color of the egg shell (white shells will cook faster, since white shells are thinner than brown), and on the size of the eggs.

Some tips to keep in mind when boiling eggs:

- before cooking, remove the eggs from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or warm them in slightly warm water to room temperature;

- wash them before putting them in the pan;

- Boil the eggs in a small saucepan. In a large saucepan, several pieces can roll and knock against each other and against the walls of the pan when boiling, and crack in the process;

- Boil chicken eggs over low heat.

- after the end of cooking, pour over the boiled eggs with cold water. They will be able to cleanse themselves so easily;

- Dip the eggs only in cold water. When lowered into boiling water, the egg may crack and the protein may leak out;

- when boiling, the eggs must be completely covered with water;

- water during cooking should be salted (1 liter of water - 1 tablespoon of salt). In this case, even a cracked egg will not leak out.
