To bring eggs to room temperature quickly,
(they beat better that way), put them in a bowl
of warm - not hot - water for 5 to 10 minutes
Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
Hard boiled eggs peel easier if you boil
eggs that are at least a week old. Fresh eggs
are more difficult to peel.
Are they Hard-Boiled?
Place a teabag in the water with the eggs
that you are boiling. This will add a light
brown color to your eggs, and you'll know right
away which eggs are hard boiled. Its important
to use good cookware for this task!
Egg Beating
Great Egg Cooking Tips: Egg whites WILL NOT
WHIP (they just won't) if they come into contact
with even the slightest trace of fat, grease or
egg yolk. This is why it's a good idea when
separating eggs to have three bowls: one for the
yolks, one for the whites and one bowl to
separate over so that you won't have to throw
out a whole batch if one yolk breaks while
separating. It is also a good idea to wash your
hands, beaters and bowl before beginning as
well, to make sure they are grease free.
Egg Facts
Unless the recipe calls for a specific size,
assume that all eggs used in recipes are Grade A
large. Using medium or extra-large eggs will
sometimes throw a recipe off.
Fresh Eggs
Lower uncooked eggs into a bowl of water. If
the egg settles horizontally, the egg is fresh
enough for you to eat. If it rises to the top,
put it in the compost pile!
Deviled Eggs
To make filling deviled eggs easier, put
filling in a plastic bag, snip off a corner, and
squeeze into the eggs.
Room Temperature is Best
Terrific Cooking Tips with eggs: In general,
it's always best to use eggs at room
temperature. A cold egg is more likely to crack
when boiled, curdle when cooked, and not whip as
well.
Peeling an egg
Start with eggs that are at least a week
old. The fresher the egg, the tougher it is
going to be to peel. Once you have finished
cooking them, plunge them immediately into ice
cold water. Roll gently on the counter, and then
the shell should slip off easily. If it is still
sticking, peel the eggs under cool running
water.
Separating Eggs
To make it easier to separate egg whites
from yolks, break the egg into a funnel. You'll
find that the white goes through and the yolk
stays behind.
Beating Egg Whites
For the best results when beating egg whites
use a copper bowl and a good cooking utensil.
Whisk when the eggs have reached room
temperature. Be careful not to get any egg yolks
in the whites when separating the eggs...even
the smallest amount can greatly reduce your
volume.
