How to make a boiled egg with a beautiful shell
Raw materials | egg |
Tool | Water pot salt (about 1 teaspoon) |
Working hours | 10Minutes |
1. | Lightly tap the edge of the egg on the corner of the work table and make a very small crack (about 5 mm to 1 cm). * If the cracks are too large, you will not be able to boil them, so the point is to use a weak force. |
2. | Gently put the "1" egg in a pan with plenty of water and salt (about 1 teaspoon). * Do not put in hot water. The temperature difference causes the cracks to spread all at once, causing the white meat to leak. |
3. | Heat on medium heat until it boils, then reduce the heat a little and simmer for about 6 minutes. |
4. | After removing it from hot water, soak it in ice water and let it cool down. |
5. | It's OK if you peel off the periperi and the shell from the crack that spread while boiling. |
