∙ 14y agoIf poaching an egg in vinegar & water, the vinegar helps to whiten the albumen & assists in the 'whirlpool' action of binding the albumen around the yolk - also tastes good, especially with some coarse-ground black pepper. However, using salted water causes the albumen to fragmentate & thereby not forming a 'nice' round package containing the yolk.

∙ 9y agoVinegar can't exactly cook an egg. If you put an egg in its shell into fairly concentrated acid, there may be enough heat generated by reaction with the shell to cook the egg inside, but I doubt vinegar would be concentrated enough for that. If you crack an egg into vinegar, the proteins in the egg will tend to denature, which is a similar effect to that produced by heat, but it would probably be only on the surface.

Why does vinegar make eggs soft?
The vinegar makes the egg soft because, the vinegar has a chemical reaction due to the Carbon Dioxide in the vinegar which has an effect on the egg. That's why the egg's shell dissolves off, and the egg gets soft.
Why does a egg go bouncy when you put it in vinegar?
The vinegar makes the egg soft because, the vinegar has a chemical reaction due to the Carbon Dioxide in the vinegar which has an effect on the egg. That's why the egg's shell dissolves off, and the egg gets soft.Correction:A raw egg will NOT bounce when dropped into vinegar. The egg must sit in vinegar for about 24 hours, so that the vinegar will react with the carbon dioxide in the egg shell, before the egg will become soft and rubbery. See link below.
Does vinegar have the same water concentration as an egg?
No, vinegar has a higher concentration of water than an egg. Therefore, if an egg is placed in vinegar, then it will gain mass because vinegar is hypotonic to the egg.
Why does an egg fold if you put it in vinegar?
Why does an egg fold if you put it in vinegar?
Why does the egg have a equal mass when added to vinegar?
The vinegar isn't absorbed by the egg.
What do you think vinegar or salt water will break a egg?

What is the circumference if you put an egg in vinegar?
The circumference of an egg in vinegar varies for each egg.
Can you use vinegar as an egg replacer for baking?

What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?

How many millimeters is a egg after being in vinegar?
Because vinegar will dissolve the calcium shell of an egg, the egg will increase in size by about 30 to 60 millimeters after being in vinegar.
When you put an egg in vinegar it dissolves but why did it need to be dissolved?
Put an egg in vinegar and the base calcium of the eggshell will be dissolved by the acid of the vinegar.
Is vinegar a hyper tonic solution or a hypo tonic solution?
vinegar is a hypotonic solution if you would like an example take an egg and put it in to a glass of vinegar and the egg will swell.
