Salt Makes Cooking Eggs Easier

When cooking eggs, salt isn’t just a way to make them taste better, but to aid in the cooking process as well. Add salt to the boiling water to cook eggs. Salt helps increase the temperature faster and the saltwater will also raise the shell and make it easier to peel.

Evidence also suggests that salt helps set the eggs and prevent them from cracking. So, a sprinkling of salt over your sunny-side-up will give you perfectly oozy eggs. You can also add salt to boiling water when poaching eggs to help keep the whites together.
