Exactly when is the soda bicarb added?

good

it's added in when you're going to boil the eggs with water (the level of water is about 2 inches above the eggs).

I believe its baking soda!

to the boiling water

This is very helpful!

good,this video is wonderful

nanana this is bull

I boil 30 eggs at a time so how much baking soda

OMFG @ oneblondeboy69. About a bottle full :P

I would recommend that you lower your entire soda sack into the boiling water be sure your doin's are exactly two inches below the water's surface.

Nice technic! I never saw it before, it good to know general chemistry when cooking then. oneblondeboy69 just add the whole baking soda bottle! I guess the eggs will explode or something like that... lol

thx4sharing

baking soda? what about vinegar? Acid from vinegar, will dissolve the carbonate in the eggshell, not a base like baking soda.

Ew so now you have saliva all over them, no thanks XD

Great hygiene. Is there a video on here about how to cure mass food poisoning from tainted egg salad at one of Tim's dinner parties?

I do this without having to add anything to the water, works just as well as it is.

I sure as hell wouldn't want to eat any eggs that someone else has had their mouth on and blown germs on!!!
