TIP AND HINTS
•Refrigerate eggs until ready to use. Always use cold eggs – do not bring them to room temperature before using or the eggs will be slightly overcooked.
•Eggs should be stored in the carton in which they were purchased to keep them from drying out and absorbing refrigerator odors.
•The eggs should be in the carton large end up – this will help them stay fresher longer and will keep the yolks centered. This is a suggested method for storing eggs.
•Before cooking soft, medium or hard eggs, pierce one side of the egg to prevent the shell from cracking during the cooking pro- cess. Always pierce the top of the egg, as in the side of the egg which was facing up when stored in the refrigerator.
•Don’t know if your eggs are fresh? Place them in a bowl of salted cool water. If they sink, they are fresh – if they float, they are not.
•Always wash the eggshells prior to soft, medium or hard cooking.
•You should always cool hard cooked eggs immediately after cooking to prevent them from cooking further and causing a dark green ring to form around the yolk. First use tongs to remove cooked eggs and carefully place in a large colander or strainer. Allow cold water to pour over the eggs until the eggs are cool enough to handle.
