  4. Store Eggs • Pointed End Down • In covered Container • Away from Heat and light • WHY? • Keeping eggs in the main body of the fridge (not on the door) keeps them at a more constant, colder temperature. • Keeping eggs in their original cartons protects them from taking on any off-odors from any strong-smelling goods in the fridge (eg. onions, strong cheeses or meats). • Keeping eggs pointed end down protects the yolk from touching the end.

  5. Egg Cookery Principles • Use Low Temperature for best tenderness and palatability • Use Gentle Heat • Do not let any fat or yolk mix with white while beating whites. • Cook thoroughly • WHY?

  9. Egg Functions • Binder • Thickening • Emulsifying • Leavening • Structuring • Adding nutrition, flavor, texture color

  10. List 4 ways that eggs can be prepared: • Hard/Soft Cooked • Scrambled • Fried • Poached

  11. How to Make a Hard-cooked Egg… • Place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough cold water to completely cover all of the eggs. • Bring the water to a boil, then immediately turn the temperature down to a simmer. Simmer eggs for 12-15 minutes • Drain and quickly cool eggs with cold running water. • Gently tap the eggs to crack the shell, and peel • If the shell sticks to the egg, it is not cool enough. Cool eggs completely before beginning to peel.
