Chicken eggs – a useful ingredient with nutritional values that can be compared to buckwheat and fish. They are a rich source of essential vitamins and a required part of any healthy diet.
How to use eggs?
Eggs are an ideal breakfast solution because almost anyone can prepare them. We offer you several culinary techniques that will help you bring egg preparation to a higher level.
How to crack an egg
Unlike the traditional cracking of eggs using a knife or the rim of a bowl, the best way is to crack the egg on a flat surface of the table. With this method the risk of small pieces of shell falling into the food is minimal.
How to separate the white from the yolk
The simplest and probably most effective way is to do it with your own hands. Crack the egg into a bowl, gently take the yolk while the white runs through your fingers.
How to peel a hard-boiled egg
After cooking, tap the egg on all sides and place it into cold water to cool. Then you can peel it off with ease.
How to cook eggs
Pour water into a pot, place the eggs in it and put it on the heat. After it comes to a boil, cook 3–4 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. A poached egg needs 5–6 minutes and a hard-boiled egg 8 minutes.
Poached egg
Here is a little trick: add 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar to the water in which the egg will be cooked.
Eggs a little differently
Crack an egg into a prepared pouch made of food-grade cling film greased with butter, salt and season it, seal it and immerse in boiling water for 4–5 minutes.
Microwave eggs
Crack an egg into a glass, pour in a little water, cover with a plate and cook at full power for one minute.
Scrambled eggs
You should prepare scrambled eggs slowly. The slower they cook, the better. Set the heat between low and medium and maintain it at that intensity.
Scrambled eggs with water
Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the pan in which you will prepare the scrambled eggs. This tip will give the finished dish a touch of grandeur.
“Golden egg”
You get this result if you mix the contents of the egg inside the shell. Take a shirt, tie the sleeves in a knot or secure them with a hair tie. Put the egg into the sleeve and spin it above your head like a lasso for one minute. Afterwards you can cook the egg.
Egg freshness
You will achieve the proper result only by using fresh eggs. If you want to find out whether they are fresh, place the egg in a container filled with water. If the egg sinks to the bottom, it is fresh. If it lifts one edge, it is about 1 week old. When it floats to the surface, you are dealing with a spoiled egg.
Prepare eggs for breakfast, add a light vegetable salad and a glass of juice. You’ll gain new energy for the whole day!
