"To Salt or Not to Salt: The Great Egg-Boiling Debate"
Boiling eggs with or without salt can lead to slightly different results, but the differences are generally quite subtle.
When boiling eggs without salt, the water will reach its boiling point faster and start to cook the eggs immediately. The eggs will cook evenly and the whites will be tender and soft. However, the eggshells may be slightly harder to peel off.
On the other hand, adding salt to the boiling water can make the eggshells easier to peel off, as the salt can help to break down the membrane between the shell and the egg. Additionally, some people believe that boiling eggs with salt can make the whites of the egg firmer and less likely to break or spread out during cooking.
Overall, the difference between boiling eggs with or without salt is relatively small, and the choice of whether to use salt or not is often a matter of personal preference.
