First boil water and add eggs while adding do not drop it from height as the outershell may break and start to leak in water while getting cooked. The main trick is to have a note on the timing to cook eggs. So have a timer or set the timer in your mobile then always have a bowl full of ice cold water or you can even add icecubes to it. Once the eggs are cooked adding it to ice cold water stops further cooking and makes the peeling easier. Once the eggs are peeled and ready then slice and serve with aslt and a dash of pepper.
Hard boiled eggs are cooked so that both egg whites and the yolk both are solidified and cooked hard. Soft boiled eggs will have a slightly soft egg yolk. Boiled eggs are a popular breakfast had all over the world.
