- You can add salt (it is unnecessary) to avoid cracking of the eggs.
- The cooked hot eggs are usually put in cold water, because of the temperature fall the eggshell is covered with mini cracks and it is easier to peel them.
- You can put the eggs into boiling water too. To prevent cracking, prick every egg with a needle (with its blunt end) or keep them for 5 minutes in a hot water (without heat).
- The egg boiled the right way has even consistency of white, and yolk is of even yellow colour. If you over boil an egg, the white will become too hard “like rubber”, the surface of the yolk will be a bit greenish, and the egg itself will lose fragrance and taste.
- the time of boiling depends on egg's size. Average egg (1 category), for which this recipe was prepared, weights around 55 grams. The time of boiling for the eggs of the 2d category should be cut by 1 minute, and if you boil selected (large) eggs - increase it by 1 minute.
- Caloric content of 1 hard-boiled egg - 80 cal./100 gram.
