Cooking the Perfect Boiled Eggs for Breakfast

Cooking boiled eggs in egg boilers is actually quite simple. A perfect breakfast egg, however, is more difficult. It often happens that an egg bursts during cooking or the protein is not very hard. There are a few rules that you can remember when cooking eggs to get the perfect egg.

First, let's figure out what the perfect boiled eggs cooked in egg boilers are. For most people it is an egg in which the protein is hard and the yolk is still slightly liquid. To get such an egg, one should note the following: Put some water in the pot. It is entirely sufficient, if some of the eggs are half covered with water. It is not necessary to put so much water in the pot that the eggs swim. By using less water, it saves energy on one hand. On the other hand, the water boils faster. The water is brought to a boil now. Then placed the eggs into the water and leave them about 6 minutes and 30 seconds in the water. An egg the size M or L should now be cooked as desired. If you would rather have a hard-boiled egg, then you should leave the eggs for about 10 minutes in boiling water. You can also place the eggs in cold water, saving some energy.

However, the water heats in egg boilers very fast, so that one needs a bit of tact to get the perfect egg. As a rule of thumb, one can say that you have to leave the water for about 3 minutes longer in the pot. Overall, it usually saves a little time. If you're in a hurry, then you can boil water with the kettle. Although this usually requires more electricity than the stove, but it boils water faster. The so-heated water is dumped in the pot with the eggs, which is already heated on the stove.

To prevent the eggs from bursting, put about one tablespoon of salt in the water, in which the eggs are to be cooked in.
