Tasty Facts
– Wash eggs before boiling to get rid of germs, including salmonella bacteria.
– Salt can be added during cooking (but not necessary) so that the eggs do not crack.
– Ready hot eggs are usually placed in cold water , because of the temperature difference, the shell is covered with microcracks and the eggs are easier to clean.
– Hard-boiled eggs can also be dipped in boiling water . So that they do not burst, first prick each egg with a needle from the blunt end or hold it for 5 minutes in hot water (without heating) before cooking.
– A properly cooked hard-boiled egg has a uniform white consistency and an even yellow yolk. If the egg is overcooked, the protein will become too hard, “rubber”, the surface of the yolk will become green, and the egg itself will lose its aroma and taste.
– Boiling time depends on the size of the eggs . The average egg (category 1) that the recipe focuses on weighs about 55 grams. The cooking time for category 2 eggs should be reduced by 1 minute, and if the egg is selected (large) – increased by 1 minute.
– Calorie content of 1 hard boiled egg – 80 kcal / 100 grams.
