Why boil eggs with lemon: our tips

 

Bonus Tips for Perfect Eggs

Want to take it even further? Here are some additional tips for combining with lemon:

• Add a pinch of salt to the water: this strengthens the shell slightly.
• After cooking, gently roll the eggs on the work surface to create micro-cracks.
• Use eggs  that are not too old  : they are harder to peel and will benefit even more from the effect of the lemon.

And what about the taste?

Good news: As long as the shell remains intact, lemon won’t alter the taste or nutritional qualities of your eggs. No sour note, just perfectly cooked eggs, ready to join your salad, picnic, or  Sunday lunch .
