Are you an egg lover? Then you don't cook and eat eggs 'like this'... do you know why?

Who doesn't love eggs? From children to adults, everyone loves to eat eggs. Doctors recommend eating one egg daily. The reason is the nutrients in it.

Eggs are a versatile food. You can cook and eat it in any form. We are often advised to eat boiled eggs. Also, eggs are very easy to cook. But even after following the cooking method, there are times when the taste and texture of the food turns out to be different than expected.

Yes, when you cook eggs, making mistakes can rob you of nutrients. Well, cooking mistakes are common and interestingly there are some simple ways to avoid them. Learn what they are in this article and avoid those common mistakes when cooking eggs.

Overcooking

Overcooking or overcooking can ruin the texture and flavor of any dish. This is also very common when you cook eggs. In particular, when boiling eggs, they should not be boiled for too long.

Because leaving eggs in hot water for too long will completely destroy the egg whites, so you should always keep an eye on the time. For example, hard-boiled eggs should be removed from hot water and cooled immediately in cold water. This will prevent them from overcooking.

Preheat the pan

Preheating the oven or pan will help shape the flavor and texture of your eggs. Especially when making egg burji or egg fry, it is important to preheat the pan before adding the eggs. This helps prevent eggs from sticking to the pan and ensures even cooking.

Using high heat

Preparing an omelet or boiled eggs? Always try to cook eggs on low to medium heat as cooking eggs on high heat can make them hard and dry. Slow cooking helps eggs retain their perfect soft texture.

Add the eggs to the boiling water

When preparing boiled eggs, do not add them directly to the boiling water. Place them in cold water and after the water comes to a boil, add the egg. Then reduce the heat and boil the eggs in a slow cooker for the required cooking time. This helps prevent cracking of the egg and promotes cooking.

Use the right metals

Always make sure you are using the right type of utensil to prepare the eggs. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the pan's finish. Instead, choose silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils that won't damage the surface and cook in them.
