Boiling Eggs Without Cracked Shells

 
 

20 December 2008

To boil eggs without cracking the shell, start with cold water covering the eggs, bring to a boil in an uncovered pot, with lots of salt and a drop of white vinegar.

The salt will help take the shell off easily, and the vinegar will coagulate the egg should it split and leak into the water.
