How to boil eggs, so they clean well
One of the reasons boiled eggs can be difficult to peel is due to their pH level. Egg whites have a low pH, which causes them to cling tightly to the shell. But adding a small amount of baking soda to the water (only 1/2 teaspoon per liter of liquid) increases its alkalinity and therefore pH, making it easier to clean the finished product. Just remember that adding baking soda will increase the hydrogen sulfide odor, so be careful.

After turning off the timer, the eggs, as in the case of boiling in a regular saucepan, must be taken out and put in cold water.
