Finished cooking egg use cold blister ok
Many people are accustomed to boiling or steaming eggs in their shells and then immediately soaking them in cold water. This can cool down the eggs and help them peel off when peeling. As everyone knows, this method is not scientific. It is best not to soak the eggs in cold water after boiling them.
Immersing cooked eggs in cold water can indeed cool down the eggs quickly. The inner eggshell membrane and egg white membrane shrink to different degrees when exposed to cold, which can easily form a certain gap, making the egg shell easier to peel off. But this ignores the large number of bacteria present in cold water.
After the egg is heated, the eggshell membrane that can prevent bacteria from passing through has been destroyed, so that the eggshell vents no longer block bacteria, so bacteria can easily take the opportunity to invade the egg, and they can come and go freely.
The correct method is to add a small amount of salt during the cooking process of eggs. Salt can not only sterilize and detoxify, but also cause a certain gap to be formed between the eggshell membrane and the egg white membrane due to different shrinkage degrees, making the eggshell easier to peel off.
