Eggs are an excellent source of protein, rich in calcium, and packed with essential nutrients like vitamin D. They are easy to cook and can be prepared in various ways.
Many people prefer boiled eggs, but scientists now claim that the common method of boiling eggs may not be the best one.
Yes, researchers have discovered an ideal way to boil eggs, making them even more flavorful.
Scientists from Naples Federico II in Italy have introduced a new technique called “periodic cooking.”
This method, originally used for layering plastic materials, has now been tested on eggs.
The process involves placing eggs in boiling water at 100°C, then transferring them to another pot at 30°C every 2 minutes. This cycle is repeated for 32 minutes, meaning the eggs are moved between pots 8 times.
With this technique, the egg yolk never exceeds a temperature of 65°C, resulting in a perfectly cooked texture.
Scientists tested this method with friends and family, who adopted it permanently after experiencing the improved taste.
According to researchers, while this process takes more time, the superior flavor makes it worthwhile.
The study has been published in the journal Communications Engineering.
