A very old egg will float in the water and should ...
Stirring the water vigorously to create a vortex may also reduce dispersion. [4] The age of the eggs affects the cooking process. The white of a freshly laid egg is less likely to disperse. With an egg that is less fresh, the white is more likely to disperse, so acidulating the water will assist in preventing excessive egg white dispersal.
