Did you know that if you start cooking eggs in cold water and slowly raise the temperature, you can prevent the cracking of hard-boiled eggs? You have to ensure that they are immersed in water.

When you are cooking eggs, you have to be wary of picking the right pan. For example, poached eggs need a shallow pan, while you will need a deep pan for boiling eggs.

If you want to make the fluffiest and softest of scrambled eggs, you should avoid cooking them on high flame. It can make the ingredients lose moisture and become crispy.

Once the water comes to a boil, turn down the heat and let the eggs cook on low flame. If you want hard-boiled eggs, continue to cook for 8 minutes.

Whether boiling or scrambling, overcooking eggs is not a good idea. For example, you need to turn off the heat right before scrambled eggs are about to be done. They are cooked in residual heat.
