When egg whites are raw, the proteins are folded up in a compact structure, scattering light and appearing clear. When the egg white is cooked, heat causes the proteins to denature and unfold, forming a more organized, opaque structure that reflects and scatters light, making it appear white. This change in protein structure is what causes the color transformation.

What is the difference between cooked and uncooked egg?

The difference between a cooked egg and a raw egg is that when a egg is cooked the clear/yellow gooey stuff turns white and turns into a solid. A raw egg doesn't have the white stuff because it has not been added to heat. This is an example of a chemical change.

How can you determine if eggs are cooked properly?

You can determine if eggs are cooked properly by checking their texture and appearance. Cooked eggs should have a firm white and a yolk that is set but still slightly runny for a soft-boiled egg, or fully cooked for a hard-boiled egg. You can also use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the egg reaches at least 160F (71C) for safety.

What are the solid white spots inside a chicken's egg white before it is cooked?

They are call chalaza and are strands of protein that hold the egg yolk centered in the albumen. The fresher your egg is the more prominent the chalazae are and they are perfectly edible. Once cooked they are not visible and are similar to the material of the egg white. Stale eggs will have had them but they will have disappeared as the egg lost moisture.

Why does eggs change colors when heated?

Eggs change color when heated because the protein molecules aggregate and become insoluble. Normally, the white of an egg is clear because the proteins are dissolved in water. However, when the egg is cooked, these proteins aggregate, or stick to proteins around them. These agglomerated proteins block the light differently and change the color of the egg.
