QUESTIONS
Q:I’vereadthataddingvinegartothewaterwill
helpmyeggskeeptheirshapebetter.Isthistrue?
Yes, . . . sort of. Eggs set up when their proteins
denature and coagulate. Egg proteins can be
denaturedbyheat,buttheycanalsobedenaturedby
acid. Adding vinegar to your water indeed causes
themtosetfaster,buttheeffectisnotquick.Rather
than causing them to set faster in the short term,
which is what you care about, vinegar just causes
them to overset as they cook, becoming dry and
tough. What’s more, vinegar can make your eggs
taste,well,vinegary.
