How to boil an egg with the yolk facing out
Do you want to prank and surprise your family or friends? Nothing could be easier! Boiled eggs are an indispensable component of many dishes. Every housewife uses them in her dishes and separately. We offer a very original method to add exclusivity to a dish and delight everyone with an unusual look.
The effect of “turning over” the yolk is achieved through the use of physical laws. You need to have a nylon stocking or tights, tape and a piece of wire. Checking the placement of the yolk is done by shining it with a small flashlight.
First you need to enlighten the egg. Use a flashlight as a lightoscope; this device is used to check the quality before laying eggs for incubation. If it is cloudy, then this is evidence of staleness; it is prohibited to use such eggs for food. The egg should be evenly translucent; the white should not have dark inclusions.
Wrap the egg shell tightly with tape; it is better to work with a thin tape about 1 cm wide. Do not leave uncovered areas; they will be subject to significant tensile forces.And nature specially made the shell in such a way that it was not afraid of compression (the egg remained intact in the nest) and was easily destroyed from the inside (it made it easier for the chicks to emerge from it).
Take tights, tie one stocking with a knot approximately in the middle of the length. Insert the egg inside, pull the stocking tightly, twist it and tie it on the other side with a piece of wire.
Now you need to unscrew the egg. Hold the stocking with both hands and twist it about 20-30 turns. Then you should cyclically stretch the tights to the sides, the rotation of the egg accelerates, when the maximum value is reached, you need to loosen the tension slightly, the egg, by inertia, will continue to rotate and twist the tights in the opposite direction. As soon as the rotation stops, pull on the tights again, the egg will begin to rotate in the opposite direction. You need to stretch the tights in such a way as to give it maximum angular velocity.
Continue unwinding for a few minutes. Why is this being done? The density of the white is lower than the density of the yolk. Under the influence of large centrifugal forces, the yolk breaks through the bag and rushes to the shell, and the white moves to the center - the stocking acts as a centrifuge. The higher the speed and rotation time, the better the effect.
Using a flashlight, illuminate the egg again; if it is dark, this indicates that the yolk has moved towards the shell; you can stop unwinding.
Remove the egg from the tights, but do not remove the tape. Start cooking, it should boil for at least five minutes, the same amount of time needed for hard boiling.
Remove the egg and place it in a bowl of cold water, preferably adding ice.It is necessary to cool sharply, otherwise the shell will be very difficult to remove.
Now remove the tape and peel the shell from the egg.
Cut in half with a knife.
Wonderful, isn't it?
This trick will definitely delight and surprise your family and friends.
If the egg turns yellow throughout its entire volume, this indicates insufficient rotation; the yolk only mixed with the white, but did not move to the shell.
But even in this form it can be used for cooking. To achieve the desired effect, repeat the process, trying to give the egg maximum speed.
