Important Notes

⚠️

Pricking the egg shell before boiling releases air pressure and helps prevent the shell from cracking during cooking.

⚠️

Cooling the eggs in ice water immediately is crucial to avoid the sulfurous green ring around the yolk.

⚠️

Peeling eggs under running water makes the process easier as water gets under the membrane.

⚠️

Using an egg slicer twice (turning the egg) is a quick and uniform way to chop eggs for salad.
