Reasons Why Boiled Egg Yolks Are Not in the Middle

The replies from other netizens also varied. There are those who provide explanations that are considered reasonable, such as the following comments.

“This egg has been around for a long time, sis. It’s almost on the verge of rotting. The sign is that if you shake it inside, something inside of it is moving. If the egg is fresh, when you shake it, it’s just calm. There’s nothing inside that moves. If it’s not fresh, when you mix it, it will bleed and the yolk will break quickly,” said the owner of the X account @cikic****

“The egg isn’t fresh, guys. If you want to know whether the egg is fresh or not, you can try shaking it, if it’s not fresh, usually there’s something bouncy inside the egg. Wow, how do you explain that?” X account comment @hister***

“1. Steamed eggs are good
2. Your egg is not fresh enough, the egg yolk is an indicator that the egg is fresh. Usually it is indicated by a firm yolk during the cooking process. “Try pouring it into a container, if you see the yellow oozing out, it’s usually not fresh enough,” write X account @ussewa****

Well, there are also those who reply in a joking tone.

“That’s sulking, Sis, maybe they want it fried, not boiled,” account comment @margarine*****

“Give me the ladder, Sis, I’ll climb it myself,” write account @mang***

So, actually, what is the trick so that when you boil a chicken egg, the yolk stays in the middle and doesn’t break?

“Well, then put it in water that has been added with salt and oil, okay? Well, shake it so that when the egg yolk is cooked, it’s in the middle, not at the edge. So when you peel it, it’s easy, yes, it doesn’t stick to the shell,” explained the canal owner.

To get boiled eggs that are cooked properly, the skin is easy to peel, and the yolk in the middle takes about 15 minutes until they are completely cooked. After that, drain the boiled eggs and wash them with clean water.

Once cool enough, the eggs can be peeled as usual. The results are smooth.

FAQ About How to Boil Eggs

Q1: Why does boiled egg yolk sometimes have a greenish-gray ring?

That’s a sign that the eggs have been boiled too long (overcooked). The color appears due to a chemical reaction between the sulfur in the egg white and the iron in the egg yolk. To avoid this, don’t boil it for more than the specified time and soak it in ice water immediately after cooking.

Q2: Can I boil eggs fresh out of the refrigerator?

It’s best to avoid it. Cold eggs that go straight into hot water are at high risk of breaking due to drastic temperature changes (thermal shock). Let the eggs sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before boiling.

Q3: What is the function of soaking eggs in ice water (Ice Bath) after boiling them?

In addition to stopping the ripening process (so the yolk remains bright), ice water causes the egg white to shrink slightly and separate from the shell membrane, making peeling it much easier and smoother.

Q4: How to differentiate between fresh eggs and old ones without breaking them?

Perform the “Float Test”. Put the egg in a glass filled with water. If it sinks flat, it is very fresh. If you stand up, it will take a while but it’s safe. If it floats, the egg is rotten/has a lot of gas inside and should be thrown away.

Q5: How long do hard-boiled eggs last?

If the shell has not been peeled, boiled eggs can last up to 1 week in the refrigerator. However, if it has been peeled, it should be consumed within the same day or a maximum of 1-2 days in a tightly closed container.
