To achieve the perfect boiled eggs with no cracks, you can try the following methods:
1. Start with room temperature eggs:
Allow the eggs to come to room temperature before boiling them. This helps to minimize cracking by preventing sudden temperature changes.
2. Gentle placement:
Carefully place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of the saucepan or pot to avoid cracking due to collision.
3. Add baking soda to water:
Adding a healthy amount of baking soda to the boiling water can help prevent cracking. The baking soda increases the water's boiling point, making it less likely to cause rapid temperature changes that can lead to cracks.
4. Slow heating:
Place the eggs in the saucepan or pot, then add enough cold water to cover them by about an inch. Start heating the water over medium-low heat and gradually bring it to a gentle boil. Avoid rapid boiling, as it can increase the chances of eggs cracking.
5. Use a timer:
