How to choose fresh and delicious eggs
- Delicious eggs are those with shells that do not have black spots, cracks, and have a dark color.
- Do not buy eggs with black spots or pale colors because those are eggs that have been stored for a long time.
- When you touch the eggshell, if it feels a bit rough and bumpy, it is a fresh egg; if the eggshell is smooth, it is an egg that has been stored for a long time.

Notes when boiling soft-boiled eggs
- Put the eggs in when the water is cold and the boiling time is calculated from when the eggs are placed in the pot.
- When adding the eggs, stir gently so that the yolk is centered in the egg for easier peeling.
- Before boiling the eggs, let them come to room temperature; if taken from the refrigerator, you should let the eggs warm up before boiling to ensure the boiling time.
