VIDEO: Cooking eggs for Easter
Why eggs burst when you cook
- An egg is equipped for the growth of chicks. In addition to protein and yolk, the egg contains an air bubble - the older the egg, the larger the bubble. If air is heated, it expands and, enclosed by the calcareous eggshell, causes it to burst because the air cannot escape.
- So take every single egg in hand and prick the rounded side of the ice cream Use a sterile darning needle or egg cutter to make a small hole in the lime scale. The warming air contained in the egg can escape through this hole. If enough air can escape, your Easter egg won't burst either.
