Brilio.net - Eggs are a source of protein that is often processed every day. Not only are eggs nutritious, they can also be processed into various appetizing dishes. One of the preparations is boiled eggs.
How to make boiled eggs is also quite practical. Even though it is simple, the taste of boiled eggs is famous for being delicious. Boiled eggs can be consumed directly or served as a complement to other dishes.
Even so, a number of people admit that they fail when making boiled eggs. Because it is often difficult to peel the shells of boiled eggs, and this problem occurs due to improper egg boiling techniques. If forced, the boiled egg meat will actually stick to the shell. Instead of being smooth, the appearance is actually damaged, aka not smooth.
As a solution, you can add enough salt to the boiled egg water. The addition of this salt causes the boiling point of water to be at a higher temperature. As a result, the process of boiling eggs is also faster. Not only that, the egg shells also become softer so they are easy to peel.
But don't just use extra salt, it turns out there are other tricks you can do when boiling eggs. The method was demonstrated by a woman, a YouTube user with the account name Umm Balqis Haura.
"Just use this method, peeling eggs will be easier," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Umm Balqis Haura on Monday (12/2).
First, take the eggs one by one to be boiled. Hold the egg in one hand and tap the top with the tip of a spoon.
"Tap until you hear a tapping sound," said the owner of the video.

The "tap" sound indicates that the white membrane inside the egg has separated from the shell. If so, slowly add the eggs into the boiling water.

The length of boiling time can be adjusted according to taste. If you want perfectly cooked boiled eggs, it usually takes 10-12 minutes.
After boiling, the eggs can be removed immediately. Instead of peeling them straight away, boiled eggs can be placed first in a container filled with ice water.

When the boiled eggs are cold, drain them. It looks like the shell has cracks. Just peel it off with your hands, OK?
"Peeling eggs is easy," he said.
