3. Key findings from netizens’ actual measurements
1.Container impact:The success rate of wide-mouthed bowls is 60% higher than that of narrow-mouthed cups. Because the heat dissipation area is larger, it is less likely to cause egg blossoms.
2.Beating height:It is best to drill 5cm away from the water surface. If it is too high, it will cause yellowing, and if it is too low, it will stick to the bottom.
3.Seasoning time:Putting the oil bag first and then beating the eggs can form a protective film and reduce the egg yolk breakage rate by 45% (data source: Weibo @ Food Research Institute)
