The fastest way to figure out a boiled egg is to break the shell. Think in advance where you use raw protein and yolk if you can’t find the boiled egg right away. From raw eggs you can cook a delicious omelet or croutons fried in egg filling. At the same time, determine exactly which of the eggs stored in the refrigerator are already cooked. This method, with all its simplicity, is quite wasteful. If you do not intend to beat raw eggs, you can find a more rational solution to the problem.

When the eggs belong to the same category and are almost identical in appearance, weigh one egg at a time, which is uniquely raw, and one that makes you doubt. Fix the received indicators and compare them. A boiled egg will weigh slightly heavier than a raw one, since the density of its contents increases during the cooking process. It is better to weigh eggs on special electronic scales, since the difference in the mass of products is quite insignificant.

A more popular way to calculate a boiled egg is to unwind it. Take the egg in doubt and lay it on a flat and firm surface. Then spin it, giving a rotational impulse. A raw egg will not be able to fully spin around its axis, since it will be inhibited by the liquid contents. Boiled, on the contrary, will begin to rotate for a long time and almost uniformly, since the yolk and protein, subjected to heat treatment, are a dense and uniform mass. Depending on the strength of rotation, you can also determine the degree of readiness of the egg. Eggs in a bag and soft-boiled eggs spin much more slowly than hard-boiled ones.

Once you have identified boiled eggs, eat them as soon as possible. Since such a product cannot be subjected to long-term storage.
