Eggs are a familiar ingredient. You can cook them into dishes and make cakes. However, not everyone knows the convenient, easy, and quick ways to cook eggs.
In this article, we will share with you all the easy ways to cook eggs. Save it because you never know when you’ll need it!
1. Separate egg yolks and egg whites with “ordinary” tools
You may have seen special tools for separating egg yolks and egg whites. However, even without those tools, you can still separate egg yolks and egg whites using items readily available in your home.
Use a funnel or an egg separator
Crack the egg into a funnel like this to separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
If you don’t have a funnel, you can use an egg separator with the same method.
Use a plastic bottle with a small mouth
You can use a plastic water bottle to separate egg yolks and egg whites. Crack the egg into a bowl, squeeze the bottle in your hand and place it near the egg yolk. When you release your hand, you have successfully sucked the yolk into the bottle!
2. Perfect fried eggs with runny yolks like a “super chef”
Don’t fry eggs the usual way. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Whip the egg whites and fry them first. Once one side of the egg whites is cooked, add the egg yolks.
When adding the egg yolks, roll up the egg whites and cover the yolks.
3. Oil-free fried eggs
For those who are on a diet or avoid oily foods but still want to eat fried eggs, this is the secret trick that meets all your desires. With just a piece of wax paper, you can make fried eggs without a drop of cooking oil.
Place a sheet of wax paper in a pan, wait for about 1 minute for the pan to heat up, crack an egg onto the paper, and wait for another 1-2 minutes. Done!
4. Peel boiled eggs without tearing the egg whites
Egg lovers must have experienced the frustration of peeling a boiled egg and losing the egg whites. The trick to avoid this is to put the boiled egg in a container, add a little water, and shake it vigorously. The eggshell will peel off on its own!
Also, when boiling eggs, put some slices of lemon into the pot and soak the eggs in cold water for about 1 minute after removing them from the pot. This will make peeling the eggshell much easier.
