Hard-boiled eggs are one of the most convenient ways to add a good dose of protein to your meals. They go well in salads, for breakfast and even as a snack. In addition, their preparation is quite practical, just immerse them in boiling water and wait a while. However, one of the most common problems that arise when making them is when they break and create an unpleasant whirlwind of water and floating pieces of egg. In some cases disaster forces us to throw everything away and start over.
If you don’t want to continue wasting eggs due to the uncertainty of whether they will break or not, the solution is very simple. All you have to do is add a splash of vinegar to the cooking water and you will see how the eggs will not spill everywhere again, even if they break. This is demonstrated by chef Heinz Wuth, who publishes content about science and cooking on his social networks. The explanation is simple, the acid in vinegar helps the egg proteins to coagulate quickly, thus preventing them from soaking in the water.
As the video demonstrates, vinegar is a great ally if you want to avoid future disasters in the kitchen. This way you will continue to enjoy good hard-boiled eggs in countless preparations, such as salad or cobb salad.
