Tet Holiday cannot be without braised pork, and how can braised pork be complete without eggs, right? But you may not have much time to wait for the eggs to be peeled. So today, let’s explore 4 methods of boiling eggs that help peel them super quickly and easily below!
1 Boiling eggs with lemon
First, pour water into the pot, then add the eggs and place it on the stove to boil over medium heat. Next, slice a piece of lemon and add it to the pot because lemon will make the eggshell much easier to peel.
When you see the water boiling for about 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let the eggs soak in hot water for another 1 – 2 minutes, then you can take them out, let them cool slightly, and they will be easy to peel.
2 Boiling eggs with baking soda
Baking soda helps make boiled eggs easier to peel, prevents them from cracking, and shortens the cooking time of the eggs. Therefore, when boiling eggs, you should add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the pot and boil for about 3 – 4 minutes.
Then, turn off the heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes before taking them out, letting them cool, and gently peeling the eggshell which should come off in large pieces easily.
3 Boiling eggs with vinegar
Just boil the eggs as usual until they are cooked, then turn off the heat. At this point, do not rush to pour out the boiling water, but add 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar, because vinegar helps prevent the eggshell from cracking and makes it easier to peel.
After that, stir well for about 2 – 4 minutes, and you will be able to peel the boiled eggs more easily!
4 Boiling eggs with oil
Set a pot of water on the stove over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the water boils, reduce the heat to low and gently add the eggs to avoid cracking them. The oil will help prevent the eggshells from cracking while boiling and will make peeling much easier.
Continue boiling for about 10 – 15 minutes until the eggs are cooked, then remove them and place them in a bowl of ice water to soak for about 5 minutes.
Then take the eggs out, lay them horizontally, press and roll the eggs to crack the shells, and then rinse them under running water to peel them easily.
