Tip: Add Lemon Juice While Boiling Eggs for Perfect Results Every Time
This small addition makes a big difference in how your eggs cook and peel. Curious how it works? Here’s the full scoop on why and how to add lemon juice to your boiling eggs for flawless results every time.
🍳 Why Add Lemon Juice When Boiling Eggs?
1. Easier Peeling
Lemon juice slightly changes the pH of the water, which helps prevent the eggshell from sticking to the egg white. This means your eggshell will come off in bigger, cleaner pieces, making peeling quick and frustration-free.
2. Prevents Cracks
3. Better Texture
Adding lemon juice may help maintain the tender texture of the egg whites, preventing them from becoming rubbery or overcooked.
