Quail Egg Cooking Tips
When cooking quail eggs for children and preparing salads, the following rules must be observed:
- Feel free to introduce eggs into boiling water: quail eggs, unlike chicken ones, never crack.
- Before cooking, it is advisable to first remove the eggs from the refrigerator so that they are at room temperature.
- Strictly observe the cooking time indicated above. This will allow the eggs to retain more beneficial substances that are destroyed during prolonged heat treatment.
- Boil quail eggs only hard-boiled for children: the assertion that quail is not susceptible to salmonellosis is a myth.
