[To Prevent Boiling Eggs from Cracking]—The four following suggestions are given in regard to boiling eggs. Use the one best suited to the purpose:
[When Boiling Eggs,] wet the shells thoroughly in cold water and they will not crack.
[To Prevent Eggs from Bursting While Boiling], prick one end of each of the eggs with a needle before placing them in the water. This makes an outlet for the air and keeps the shells from cracking.
[If Eggs Which You Are] About to Boil Are Cracked, add a little vinegar to the water and they can then be boiled as satisfactorily as undamaged ones.
[A Spoonful of Salt] should be added to the water in which slightly cracked eggs are boiled. The salt will prevent the white of the egg from coming out.
