– A soft-boiled egg can be in several states : semi-liquid protein and yolk (cooking time 2 minutes), soft (but not liquid) protein and liquid yolk (cooking time 3 minutes), soft protein and semi-liquid yolk (cooking time 4 minutes). The cooking time is indicated for eggs of category 1, the cooking time for smaller eggs should be reduced, and large eggs should be increased by 1 minute.
– Boil soft-boiled eggs over low heat , if heated too intensely, they will burst.
– For boiling eggs, you should not take a large pan, the eggs should lie tightly against one another, and not move along the bottom of the pan and not beat against each other.
– Eggs can be immersed not in cold water, but in boiling water with a tablespoon. To prevent the eggs from bursting, they must first be warmed (immersed in hot water for 5 minutes) or the blunt end of the egg is pierced (there is air that will exit the egg through the puncture, compensating for the increasing pressure).
