Research Shows Eggs Stronger on Side

Scientists did some tests with eggs. They wanted to see how eggs break. They found eggs break easier when dropped standing up.

For cooking, this may not change much. It is still best to crack eggs in the middle. Breaking the egg in the middle helps the yolk come out easily.

The new study can help when hard-boiling eggs. Put eggs in a pot on their side. Eggs put in sideways are less likely to crack when cooking.

People thought eggs were strongest at their ends. Cartons hold eggs standing up. Scientists tested this and found it was not true.

The middle of the egg is more flexible, they found. This part takes more of the fall's energy. The scientists hope their work will help school projects.
