TIP AND HINTS
•Whenpurchasingeggs,choose
only those eggs that are stored in a refrigerator case. Refrigerate eggs until ready to use. (For baking, eggs may be placed in a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes to bring them safely to “room temperature” for best baking results.)
•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 fresh longer and will keep the yolks centered.
•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.
•Topreventthedevelopmentofbacteria
in cooked egg dishes, eggs should not be left at room temperature longer than 2 hours (count preparation as well as serving time.)
•Chillandrefrigeratehardcookedeggs
immediately after removing from the Egg Cooker. For best results, plunge cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water ­this will stop the cooking process and prevent a dark ring from developing around the yolk.
•Istheegghardcookedorraw?Can’t recallwhichonesyouhavecooked?
Play spin the egg. A cooked egg will spin, a raw egg will wobble.
•Freshereggs(lessthanaweekold) are harder to peel than those a little older.
•Topeelhardcookedeggseasily,roll
gently on the counter, using the palm of your hand to crack. Dip in a bowl of cold water and begin peeling from the larger end.
•Hardcookedeggsintheshellwillkeep
for up to one week properly refrigerat­ed. Hard cooked eggs out of the shell should be used immediately.
•Hardcookedeggsthathavebeencol­ored and displayed decoratively should not be consumed - enjoy their colorful display and discard. Cook extra eggs for eating and consider the discarded eggs an inexpensive way to decorate.
•Hardcookedeggsmakeacolorful,fla­vorful and nutritious garnish. They can be sliced, wedged, finely chopped or pressed through a fine sieve to make a powder-like garnish.
