Let Eggs Boil: The Best Tips and Tricks

Cooking eggs – what is that exactly?

The cooking process of eggs is usually referred to as cocooning.

• In general, the term refers to the solidification of food. Eggs do not necessarily have to be involved. Gelatine, for example, should be set in the fridge.
• However, this also includes all types of preparation of food that contain eggs and are heated. So, for example, omelettes or frittatas and creme brulee are also included.
• With some foods, however, it is important to prevent sticking. An example of this would be the recipe for spaghetti carbonara.

How to cook eggs properly – a guide

The art of cooking eggs is that they don’t dry out.

• It is important not to use too much heat. If you want to prepare scrambled eggs, all you have to do is set the stove to medium heat.
• Once the butter has melted, add the egg to the pan.
• If you have previously fried bacon in a pan, the residual heat from the stove is often sufficient to bake an egg. You can actually switch off the stove and save energy.
• Once the egg is set, remove it from the pan. Here it is important not to miss the right moment.
