Does boiling eggs with an egg boiler cause cancer

Using an egg boiler to cook eggs generally does not cause cancer, but attention should be paid to the correct usage method and material safety. Egg boilers do not produce carcinogens under normal usage conditions, but prolonged heating at high temperatures or the use of inferior materials may increase the risk.

Egg boilers are usually made of food grade plastic or stainless steel materials, and regular products do not release harmful substances at high temperatures. Eggs themselves are rich in high-quality protein and various vitamins, and boiling them in water can maximize the retention of nutrients. Control the heating time to avoid excessive cooking. Although the green iron sulfide on the surface of egg yolks does not affect health, it may reduce nutrient absorption. Some low-priced and inferior egg boilers may use non food grade plastics, which may release harmful ingredients such as plasticizers at high temperatures. Long term exposure to such substances may increase health risks. Choose products with safety certification to avoid direct contact of plastic parts with high-temperature water vapor, and clean them promptly after use to prevent oxidation of residual grease.

It is recommended to choose a stainless steel inner pot egg boiler. When using, add water to the standard line to avoid dry cooking. After cooking, take out the eggs in a timely manner. Keep the equipment clean and dry, and regularly check for aging. A balanced diet with fresh vegetables and fruits, and moderate intake of eggs from different cooking methods are more beneficial for health. When there is deformation or odor in the equipment, it should be stopped immediately.
