Bring to room temperature: Let the eggs sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking. This will reduce the risk of cracking due to sudden temperature changes. Add salt or vinegar: A teaspoon of salt or a dash of vinegar to boiling water will help the egg whites set faster if the shell cracks, preventing leakage.
