Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The perfect, but slow, way to boil an egg - according to science
If you like boiled eggs, which style do you like, soft-boiled or hard-boiled? A soft-boiled egg has semi-cooked white with mostly runny yolk. The runniness of the yolk can be controlled by the length of boiling time somewhere between six to eight minutes. A hard-boiled egg has a firm white and fully cooked yolk. It takes around 10 minutes in boiling water. But if you boil an egg longer than that, the yolk becomes too dry. The reason for the difference in cooking time between albumen, the white part of the egg, and the yolk is that while the yolk requires 65C to cook, the albumen needs 85C. Recently, researchers discovered an innovative way to make an ideal and nutritious way to make boiled eggs by taking these different hardening temperatures into cooking. Unfortunately, the method requires a pan of boiling water and a bowl filled with luci-warm water. Also, it takes 32 minutes to complete, three times longer than making hard-boiled eggs in a conventional way.
If you love hard-boiled eggs, read the article and learn the newly discovered way to make perfect hard-boiled eggs for your taste buds and health.
