(Before starting I would like to say if you stir your eggs a few times while you're cooking, the egg yolk will stay in the middle of the egg instead of to one side makes a beautiful egg for ramen or deviled eggs). Add one teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tbsp of vinegar to seal cracks in eggs while also making them easy to peel. Add cold water to the eggs and bring them to a boil remove them off the burner place a cover and let set, for a gooey egg yolk 4 minutes, for a medium egg 7 minutes, and for a fully cooked yolk 12 minutes, remove them from the pan (if they are really fresh eggs at this point sometimes I will crack the egg shells) next place them in ice water for 5 minutes before peeling. This will make the eggs perfect without the green ring and keep the egg yolks beautiful and soft. When making omelets adding a teaspoon of vinegar into the eggs will make them fluffier and brighten the color as well as flavor. When beating eggs for a meringue or a whipped cream add 1 tsp of cream of tartar to egg whites. Hope these help you have a great egg day!
If you drop a raw egg on the floor (and don’t have a dog), pour salt on the egg. It will coagulate the egg, making it easier to scoop up. Do not crack an egg directly into whatever you’re making, like cake batter. Instead, crack each egg separately into a ramekin, then add to batter. That way, if you get a bad egg, or pieces of shell fall in, you won’t ruin whatever is already in the large bowl, like the batter.
I cringe when I see so called experts cracking their eggs on the side of the bowl. The worst is getting eggshells in the food. Also, I always crack egg in a separate bowl before adding to others incase it’s bad.
I had never cooked or did anything in kitchen before I married at 18. One of the dumbest things I did while learning was to cover a dropped egg with newspaper while I continued putting away groceries. As you may expect, I got distracted otherwise and forgot the egg until it had dried. It was like cement. Finally got smart enough to soak the paper with water and scrape it uo.
Does the baking soda work with eggs that have not been washed and are just a day or two out of the hen? The rule of thumb for fresh eggs is that if you don't wash them, you can keep them on the counter, fyi. Also, fresh, washed eggs need to be stored in the fridge for at least 3 weeks before they will peel well after boiling.
I save my egg shells, rinse them well, then bake them in my toaster oven at about 150C/300F for about 15 minutes (I save them up until I’m using the oven for something else). This dries them and sterilizes them. I then crush them up in a mortar and pestle, and add about a teaspoon of crushed shell in with the coffee grounds in my coffee maker, plus about a half teaspoon of sea salt. This helps smooth out excessive acidity in the coffee, greatly improves the taste of the less expensive coffee I buy, and maybe adds a teeny bit of calcium in my diet. The used grounds then get added to my compost, so the eggshell still winds up in my garden.
Did you know, if you cook your eggs in steam (which is hotter than boiling water) then this brings the cooking time of soft boiled down to 4min and hard boiled to 8min - saving energy and thus money. Simply add only a centimeter in hight of water, place the eggs inside (punched) and time from when the water cooks. I do this with hot water from the water cooker, which also saves energy and/or gas in my case :-) because the water sort of boils immediately. Also, the eggs need to be warm i.e. not directly from the fridge. I take them out the night before. I am egg crazy, every (really every!) morning 2 or 3 soft boiled eggs and a cosy breakfast table with tea candles and green decoration. Highlight of the day :-)
Great content. But you missed the one thing I’ve wanted to know for years. I have zero problem separating yolks from whites. But how do you separate the thick white from the thin white? Look at fried eggs in egg commercials or in photos. How do you do that?
Well... maybe I will have to see if your baking soda egg peel is better than putting a crack in the bottom before you boil them 😁 The water gets between the shell and egg so it almost BOILS THE SHELL OFF! 😲😳😊
Clarified butter is NOT Ghee, Ghee is when you burn of the milk resideu and Clarified is just boiled and skimmed off the top. Ask an Indian...Ghee is harder to achieve than Clarified, as you have only seconds in which to achieve a clear unsullied butter, which is brillint for high heats and the taste is nutty & lovely.
Egg producers in the States have up to 30 days to package eggs after they are laid. Then, after packing, they can be sold up to 30 days later. So, the "secret code" is not a very reliable metric for determining the freshness of eggs. If an egg was packed on November 4, 2024, it could have been laid as early as October 5 and sold as late as December 4. You have no way of knowing how long the eggs have waited. The code is there for the egg farmers, not the consumer. I would not say it is more reliable than the expiration date.
Here are my tips for peeling hb eggs. Use eggs that are not super fresh. Simmer for 12 mins, then put in ice bath for five mins (at least). Grab a small jar (like for jam or mustard), place one egg at a time in the jar, cover with the lid, and shake vigorously 12-16 times. The shell should slide right off, often in large pieces.
if you want well structured egg whites without adding salt (which could ruin the recipe by making it too salty) use cream of tartar instead of the salt.
I love cooking and preparing eggs. Thank you for your good tips! I will incorporate them when I am working with eggs.🥚🥚🥚 Thank you 😊

Adding lemon juice/lemon peeling to the water when boiling an egg helps peel the egg easier

If you want perfect soft boiled eggs don't take this advice. 4.5 minutes is about right.
How long can boiled eggs last 🤔😋!!!
Drop a cold egg in boiling water with salt in water boil9 minutes drop in cold water they will Crack great every time

if you want a fluffy omelette then whisk eggs hard add a pinch of boiled water keep whisking and add to hot pan immediately.
One thing he forgot to mention is if you are keeping eggs in a side by side refrigerator store the eggs away from the freezer side.
❤️👍👍👍

Grind egg shells,use as fertilizer..

Separate 😊
if you want well structured egg whites without adding salt (which could ruin the recipe by making it too salty) use cream of tartar instead of the salt.
Also when storing eggs keep the the egg sack up and point down
I cook our eggs in bacon grease that we save.
Do you store the grease in the fridge or on the counter? How long will it last? Tx ❤
Keep the boil eggs in the refrigerator about 10 mins easy to peel
Great video, except could you remove the elevator faded drumbeat ?
Peel boiled eggs easily by boiling in heavily salted water.
False information a soft boiled egg takes only 3 /4 min at the most
