Does an egg have to boiled to float?

Answer 1

Place the eggs/egg in a pot fill the pot to cover eggs with cold water add a tablespoon of vinegar bring to a boil for 10 minutes, gradually pour cold water into the pot until water is cold, now you have a perfect boiled egg to peel the egg tap the pointed end on the table and roll the egg along table then push egg from shell.

I have had better luck by starting out with cold water completely covering the eggs. Once the water comes to a boil I turn off the stove and let them sit for 10 - 15 minutes in the hot water. (10 min will leave the yolk done but not completely hard, 15 minutes completely cooks the yolk which is best for salads, etc.) I have never had a greenish colored yolk cooking them this way.

1. Place the raw egg in a saucepan.
2. Run cold water into the saucepan until the water is 1 inch above the egg.
3. Place the saucepan on a stove and cook over medium heat until the water begins to boil.
4. Reduce the heat to low.
5. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 10 to 15 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
6. Remove the egg with a spoon or ladle and let it cool slowly, or run cold water over it to cool it more quickly.

Answer 2

Eggs are used in cooking in all sorts of stages. From the raw egg in a Caesar Salad to the hard boiled egg in a deviled egg recipe. So, no you don't have to always boil an egg. You can use boiling water to partially cook an egg, that is called a 'poached' egg and many people like to eat their eggs that way.

Answer 3

yes because if you don't the liquid inside the egg will make it bust and if you do the hard solids inside the egg will support it

Answer 4

Eggs do not have to be boiled to float. Pickled eggs will float. Eggs that are not very fresh will float. And, spoiled eggs will float.
