I don't know why, Chinese have a natural good feeling for eggs, children who go to school want to eat, postpartum women want to eat, the elderly supplement nutrition to eat, but after eating so many eggs, do you know that eggs are best cooked for a few minutes?
Find a few eggs and time them from 4 minutes, recording the changes in eggs from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.
Cook for 5 minutes: The egg whites are fluffy, the egg yolks have not yet been fixed and formed, and the egg liquid is easy to flow down after cutting, and it is not fully cooked
Cook for 6 minutes: The egg whites are soft, the yolks are gradually formed, and the egg liquid is not easy to flow down after cutting, and it is not fully cooked
Cook for 7 minutes: The egg whites are elastic, the yolks are formed, and only a small amount of egg liquid flows out, at this time it is a loose egg
Cook for 8 minutes: The egg white is elastic, the yolk is formed, no egg liquid flows out, and a small part of the middle is not cooked thoroughly, at this time it is a loose egg
Cook for 9 minutes: The egg whites are elastic, the yolks are fully formed and the taste is fluffy
Cook for 10 minutes: The egg whites are fully elastic, the yolks are fully formed, and the taste is too hard
More than 10 minutes: The egg whites and yolks are fully formed, the taste is dry, a little choky, and the color of the yolk is more yellow than 8 minutes ago.
In general, boiled eggs for eight or nine minutes have the best taste, if you like to eat fully cooked, you can cook for 10 minutes, but it is not recommended to turn off the heat and eat at seven minutes (boiled eggs), because at this time the yolk is not fully formed, which means that it is not cooked thoroughly, and it is not recommended to eat.
Why is it not recommended to eat loose eggs? What could be inside?
When it comes to loose eggs, there are generally two views, one is that the taste is fresh and tender, and the taste of ordinary eggs is not the same, and it will be more delicious to mix with other condiments. Another view is that it is very unhygienic and that there are a lot of germs in it.
The nutrition of eggs need not be said, there is a consensus, but in the cooking methods still have their own preferences, but delicious is one thing, safety also needs to be considered.

The purpose of boiling eggs is to destroy bacteria, but if it is not long enough, the bacteria cannot be killed all. The yolk is at the heart of the egg, protected by eggshells and egg whites, and it takes at least eight minutes to cook and cook thoroughly. If you fish out the eggs in advance for taste, there may be surviving germs, and after eating, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Although the situation is not very serious, long-term consumption is also risky, and if the eater is young, the symptoms will be more serious.
To be honest, eating eggs raw can only absorb 30%-50% of the nutrients, and there is a risk of disease, it is really not worth it, so it is not recommended to eat loose eggs.
