How to boil eggs without breaking them;

There are two basic options for painting eggs. The first is to boil your eggs first and then dip them in the paint and the second to paint them with it. In any case, there are little secrets that will help you save effort and time but also minimize losses.!

* Temperature matters!

A basic rule for not cracking eggs is to have about the same temperature as water. So it would be good to take them out a little earlier from the fridge and leave them at room temperature for a few hours.. If there is a sharp and large change in temperature, will cause abrupt contraction or dilation in the egg shell, something that will lead to its breaking or cracking.

* Do not squeeze them - let them breathe

To avoid squeezing them together in the pot, place a small layer at a time while you can put a small cloth on the bottom, which will absorb vibrations during boiling.

* Turn off the fire if you do not want to mourn… broken eggs

Special care is needed during cooking. If you do not lower the fire you will have several losses so make sure to at least reduce the temperature. But the best trick is as soon as the water starts to boil, να σβήσεις εντελώς τη φωτιά και ν’ αφήσεις την κατσαρόλα σκεπασμένη πάνω στο μάτι για 15 with 20 minutes (also works in gas cookers). Έτσι θ’ αποκτήσεις σφιχτά τέλεια βρασμένα αυγά, but without making your yolk green.

* Vinegar and salt also do the job!

If you throw vinegar and salt in the water, even if an egg cracks, the pores of the shell will have expanded acting as a protective shield so the egg white and yolk will not spill into the water.

* Follow the step-by-step instructions

If you use ready-made paint, follow the instructions exactly to calculate the time required to leave them immersed in it.. Then carefully remove the painted eggs with a large spoon, letting them dry on a cardboard or large platter..

* Decorate them and have a good crunch!

Once the painted eggs are dry, polish them with olive oil and prepare your prints., unless he had chosen in advance the technique of stamping with sheets and tights. If you have the time and mood you can paint them with a special brush.

End, place the media in a basket which you will decorate with red ribbons and other ornaments to make it even more Easter!!
