#17: An Eggcellent Idea

Cooking the perfect boiled egg is a form of art. It can be hard to determine the exact time it needs to be boiled to perfection. This Reddit user suggested a cool tip to determine whether an egg is boiled or raw: place it on a flat surface and spin it. Swiftly stop its rotation with your hand and then release it immediately.

If the egg comes to a halt, it is boiled. However, if it continues spinning, the contents remain raw due to the liquid’s momentum inside. Though seemingly unconventional, this method capitalizes on the principle of rotational motion and fluid dynamics. The egg’s behavior can provide a quick and visual indication of its cooking status, sparing you from unnecessary guesswork.
