Yes
Is it not severe? Time is the soul of boiled eggs!
Dr. Clove will make a brief summary (look at the picture and talk) as follows:
Eggs for 1-2 minutes
It’s not ripe at all, only the protein is slightly condensed. Visual inspection should also make an egg flower soup.
Eggs for 3-5 minutes
The protein gradually solidified, but the yolk was still loose and could flow freely.
Eggs for 6-10 minutes
The egg white feels very soft and the yolk starts to solidify. Most people said they like boiled eggs at this stage.
Eggs over 11 minutes
That is, full [well-cooked eggs], white egg yolks are beginning to harden and may taste a little… choking.
So, even if it is only one minute less and two minutes more, it is another egg.
Returning to the problem…
How long is the best time to boil eggs?
01. In terms of safety, well-cooked eggs lasting more than 10 minutes are better.
Eggs are foods that are susceptible to bacterial contamination. Eggs that are not completely solidified, such as hot spring eggs and soft-boiled eggs, mean that the sterilization temperature has not been reached.
If you happen to meet contaminated and sick eggs, you may cause food poisoning.
02. In terms of nutrition, there is little difference.
Heating has little effect on the nutrition of eggs. Protein and minerals will not be absorbed after cooking for a few more minutes.
Vitamins are slightly affected, but the loss is not large, so there is no need to struggle.
03. If you want to say that the taste is good or bad…
It can only be said that [different people have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions].
Whether it’s a soft-boiled egg, a well-cooked egg or a tea egg boiled for several hours, whether you like it or not depends on your taste.
Although eggs are risky if they are not cooked, it does not mean they cannot be eaten. If you like sugar-hearted eggs, it is recommended to buy eggs with guaranteed quality and reasonable preservation.
However, choosing eggs lasting more than 5 minutes and less than 10 minutes can give consideration to both taste and nutrition.
As for boiled eggs, you may also be concerned about the following minor issues.
How to boil eggs is not easy to break?
When Dr. Clove was boiling eggs, he unfortunately got a pot of egg flower soup with bubbles… … …
If you want to boil eggs without breaking, you can try the following two methods:
- Boil in cold water and let the eggs and water heat up together. Before putting into the pot, make a small hole at the big end to help exhaust.
Eggs have been boiled for a long time. Why is the yolk blue?
This is ferrous sulfide formed by the reaction of hydrogen sulfide and iron in eggs at high temperature and is not toxic.
If you don’t like it, be careful not to cook it for too long and cool it with cold water in time.
Can I eat boiled eggs overnight?
It depends on whether the eggs are boiled properly.
If it is a fully cooked egg, it can be eaten as long as it is refrigerated in time and stored for 3-4 days.
If you are cooking soft-boiled eggs, it is really a little risky, so you’d better not eat them overnight.
