You will agree that hard-boiled eggs are perfect for a heavy meal or a snack that is not only delicious, but also very nutritious! If you have limited time, hard-boiling eggs in large quantities and storing them for later use is the recommended method. However, how do you warm the eggs before eating so that the taste and quality does not change? Try reading this article to find the answer! One recommended method is to soak the shelled eggs in boiling water, then let them sit for 10 minutes until they are fully warmed up. After that, the eggs can be eaten directly or reprocessed into various dishes, such as deviled eggs or delicious egg lettuce.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Using Boiling Water
Step 1. Place the eggs in a large enough heatproof bowl
Since the bowl will be filled with hot water later, make sure you only use a heat-resistant bowl in this method. Also, use a bowl that is large enough so that the eggs are completely submerged in the water.
This method works best for warming hard-boiled eggs
Step 2. Bring the water to a boil
Use the microwave or a regular saucepan to bring the water to a boil. Consider the size of the bowl and the number of eggs to be warmed to determine the right amount of water. Make sure there's enough water to cover the whole egg!
Step 3. Pour boiling water into the bowl of eggs
Slowly pour the water into the bowl until the eggs are completely submerged, because only then will the warm temperature be spread evenly throughout the egg. Then, cover the bowl with a special plate or lid to trap the hot steam inside.
Step 4. Let the eggs rest for 10 minutes
Once the bowl is covered, let the eggs soak in the boiling water for 10 minutes. After that, slowly open the lid of the bowl.
Step 5. Remove the eggs from the bowl, then peel the shells
Since the water is still very hot, be careful when removing the eggs. If necessary, use a slotted spoon to drain the eggs. Then, peel the eggs and serve immediately.
Method 2 of 3: Using Another Method
Step 1. Steam the boiled eggs
The trick, fill the bottom of the steamer pot with water as high as 2.5 cm. Then, heat the water until it boils. Once the water boils, reduce the heat and very carefully place the eggs in the steaming basket. Cover the pot and let the hot steam warm the eggs for 3-5 minutes. Once the eggs are at your desired temperature, turn off the heat. Peel immediately and enjoy the eggs afterwards!
- The duration of steaming of eggs depends on the condition of the eggs when steamed and the level of maturity of the eggs when boiled.
- Experiment until you find the steaming duration, level of doneness, and temperature that suits your taste.
Step 2. Drizzle the eggs with hot water
If your kitchen faucet is running hot, try running the eggs with hot water from the faucet. If the water is too hot, don't forget to wear heat-resistant gloves when handling the eggs so you don't burn your skin. Do this until the eggs are at your desired temperature.
Step 3. Soak the eggs in water and warm them in the microwave
Place the hard-boiled eggs in a heatproof bowl without peeling them, then pour the water into the bowl until the eggs are submerged. Then, warm the eggs at 1 minute intervals to prevent them from exploding in the microwave, until they reach the desired temperature.
If you wish, you can also peel and cut the eggs in half, then place them on a heatproof plate and warm them briefly in the microwave. In particular, warm the eggs at 10-second intervals so they don't explode in the microwave
Method 3 of 3: Eating Warmed Eggs
Step 1. Sprinkle the surface of the egg with various spices
Peel the eggs, then cut them in half. Then, sprinkle the surface of each egg piece with salt, salt and celery powder mixture, ground pepper, or your favorite dry seasoning mix. Serve and enjoy immediately!
Step 2. Make the deviled egg
Split the eggs, then transfer the yolks to a bowl. Then, crush the yolks and mix them with 60 ml of mayonnaise, 1 tsp. white vinegar, 1 tsp. yellow mustard, 1/8 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper powder.
- Put all the ingredients into a plastic bag clip, then cut a little part of the end. After that, spray the egg yolk mixture back over the egg whites.
- Place the eggs on a serving plate, then sprinkle the surface with ground Spanish smoked paprika. Serve immediately!
Step 3. Make the egg lettuce
First, peel and cut the hard-boiled eggs, then put the egg pieces into a large bowl. Then, add 60 ml of mayonnaise, 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp. chopped onion, tsp. salt, tsp. ground pepper, and 170 grams of chopped celery in the same bowl. Stir all ingredients until well mixed. Egg lettuce can be eaten directly or used as a filling for sandwiches to make it more filling.
