How to achieve different cooking for your eggs?

How to cook your fresh eggs?

Up to 9 days after laying, you can choose any cooking for your eggs. Warning ! Our cooking times apply to medium to small eggs. For a larger egg, add about a minute to the time indicated. Your eggs should be at room temperature, if possible taken out of your fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking. For boiled and soft-boiled eggs, start by bringing a pot of water to the boil. The cooking time will be 3 minutes for a soft-boiled egg and 4 minutes for a soft-boiled egg, which is a little overcooked. For a fried egg, use a pan that you oil very lightly. Wait for the white to be cooked, the yolk should remain runny. For a poached egg, heat water with a dash of vinegar and break an egg into a container. When the water is simmering, swirl it around with a spoon and drop your egg into the water. Let it cook for about 2 minutes or take it out when the white is cooked.

How to cook your eggs that are more than 10 days old?

After 10 days, it is better to cook your eggs more, i.e. cook them until they are hard, or eat them in an omelet or even scrambled. To prepare your hard-boiled eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil then immerse your eggs in it for a maximum of 10 minutes. Little trick:put your eggs in the pan with a spoon to avoid breaking them! After cooking, run them under running cold water to be able to scale them more easily. For scrambled egg lovers, start by breaking your eggs into a container and mixing them with a little salt and pepper. For even creamier scrambled eggs, add a little cream to the mixture. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled frying pan and stir well throughout cooking. For an omelet, beat your eggs with a fork then pour the mixture into a pan, it's ready in a few minutes!
