Boiling eggs until they are fully cooked is easy, but getting them to have a soft or slightly soft center to your liking is more difficult. Some people like their eggs with slightly runny yolks, which means the yolks are still slightly undercooked and runny on the inside while the whites are set, while others prefer fully cooked eggs…
Here are some principles to follow to achieve the perfect boiled eggs:
– Fill the pot with water to about 3cm above the eggs.
– When the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to prevent excessive pressure that could crack the shells.
– The cooking time for your desired level of doneness is as follows:
After 3 minutes of boiling, the whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny.
After 5 minutes of boiling, both the whites and yolks are fully set, with the yolks still slightly soft and runny.
After 7 minutes of boiling, the whites are fully cooked and firm, while the yolks are fully cooked but still slightly moist.
After 9 minutes of boiling, the eggs are fully cooked.
After 11 minutes of boiling, the eggs are fully cooked and the yolks are golden. Cooking them any longer will result in dry yolks.
Storing boiled eggs
Eggs are best consumed immediately after boiling. If you need to store them, make sure to dry the shells thoroughly. Eggs with a soft center are more susceptible to bacterial contamination and pose a higher risk of food poisoning than fully cooked boiled eggs.
Boiled eggs should be consumed within the day to ensure their quality and food safety.
According to many nutrition experts, it is recommended to consume fully cooked boiled eggs as soft-centered eggs have a higher risk of dangerous bacterial contamination, such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can cause severe food poisoning…
Egg yolks contain 13.6% protein, 29.8% fat, and 1.6% minerals. The protein in egg yolks contains the best amino acid composition. The majority of egg whites are water, with only 10.3% protein, fat, and minerals. If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s important to focus on egg whites. You can consume one egg per day without negative health effects. However, avoid excessive egg consumption as it can raise cholesterol levels. Please be mindful when using eggs.
