]]> For all you cookie lovers out there, you know that baking the best cookies with perfect texture can be a little tricky. You need the eggs to be the right size, the exact amount of flour, and the oven temp needs to be perfect. And even with all of that they sometimes don’t turn out how they are meant to. This is where the hardboiled egg yolks come in, adding one or two of these will create the most perfect shortbread every time.

So how does it work? Flour contains two proteins, gliadin and glutenin and when you knead the four with a liquid it brings the two proteins together to create gluten. This is what gives the dough the stretchy and chewy texture, which is great for pizza and bread but not so much for cookies. So this is how the hard-boiled egg yolks work, once they are passed through a sieve and mixed into the flour, the fat prevents too much gluten from developing resulting in crumbly and soft cookies.

You only need to add one or two hard-boiled eggs per batch of cookies, and you want to make sure they are completely cooled before you add them to the dough. Either use a fine mess sieve or a cheese grater to crumble them directly into the flour mixture and combine them with a fork.

So next time you make cookies, try adding a hard-boiled egg and see how the texture changes.

]]> One of the appeals of boiled eggs is that they are painfully easy to make. You just toss them in boiling water, let them have a bath for a while, and you are good to go. But then comes the challenging part, as you need to peel them. Peeling boiled eggs can be a frustrating task. Most of the time, you cannot peel the shell in one go, and you need to take it off piece by piece. Luckily, however, there is one simple trick that can help you make this a walk in the park.

How to Peel Boiled Egg with Ease

The simplest way to ensure your egg is easy to peel is by adding a teaspoon of baking soda to the water while the eggs are cooking. The baking soda will prevent the egg white from sticking to the shell and you will have no problem removing it once the eggs are boiled.

Why Does This Work?

The reason why this trick works is because of baking soda’s ability to lower the acidity level of the egg. Fresh eggs have a low pH, making them more acidic. This results in egg whites forming a strong bond with the membrane that coats the inside of the eggshell. When baking soda causes the acidity level to drop, the previously mentioned bond weakens and makes peeling a simple task.

You can also have an easier peel if you use older eggs (10 days or older). They have a higher pH level and less acidity, which makes the bond between egg whites and shell membrane already weak.

]]> How many times have you wanted to eat hard-boiled eggs for breakfast only to give up because the thought of making them so early seemed daunting? Making hard-boiled eggs seems easy, but it’s important to know how long to cook them and you need to plan 15-20 minutes in advance, which can be challenging when you’re late for work.

If you own an air-fryer, you can now try this trick that recently went viral on TikTok. It doesn’t require your attention, meaning that you can get ready or do something else while your eggs are preparing. There’s no water boiling and no fear of the eggs cracking – doesn’t it sound amazing?

You only need an air fryer and cold water to cook your eggs perfectly every time without any mess. The trick was shared by TikTok user @kortneyandkarlee whose advice is to place an egg in the air fryer for 15 minutes at 270°F. After 15 minutes, remove the egg and put it in cold water—even better if you add some ice to it. This will stop the cooking process and you’ll be left with a perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg.

]]> Perhaps you went a little overboard with meal prepping this week and you suddenly find yourself with a surplus of hard-boiled eggs. Do not fear, there are tons of creative ways to make the best out of the situation. Here’s how to use them up with easy and tasty ideas.

Egg Salad

Though this may seem like an obvious one, egg salad truly is the simplest way to use up hard-boiled eggs. Egg salad sandwiches make for a protein-packed lunch or scoop some into your salad for an extra touch.

Serve on Toast

When you need a break from avocado toast, hard-boiled egg toast is the way to go. It’s also incredibly versatile and you can add whatever you have in your fridge. Cottage cheese, fresh herbs, or tahini are great additives to your eggy toast.

Devilled Eggs

You don’t have to wait for your next barbecue or potluck to chow down some addictive deviled eggs. They work as a quick snack at home too. Feel free to get creative when it comes to these; you can add smashed avocado, chiles, or whatever spices you please to the filling.

]]> Cooking hard-boiled eggs can be frustrating. Timing your egg perfectly is tricky, the shell can be difficult to remove or the yolk cooks weird. But fret no more! You can easily learn how to make the perfect boiled egg at home. Here are some tips to help you get started.

Overcooked Eggs

Many people do not know that eggs can actually be overcooked. To know when an egg is overcooked, search for a dark gray ring around the yellow mid part of the egg. When you see this, you have officially overcooked your egg.

When you cook your egg properly, you will see an exquisitely yellow mid-section, and you’ll not have any difficulty with peeling the egg. Here are a few things to bear in mind:

  1. Make sure you’re using eggs that are more than ten days old (yes, that sound counter-intuitive, but fresh eggs are not your friend here).
  2. Do not let the eggs boil forever – once your water boils, time the cooking time – boil  for 6 – 7 minutes for the perfect hard-boiled egg.
  3. When you’re done cooking, allow the eggs to rest in a cold water filled bowl to stop the cooking process.

If you take your time to follow these simple steps, you will have a perfect boiled egg. You can easily serve it up for your child’s lunch. It can be an afterschool snack or used to garnish other of your favorite recipes.
