Q. Why do Eggs break so easy when in water?
Asked by mickl84 - Thu Oct 26 13:40:37 2006 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Could be you are adding them to the water straight from the fridge - they should be at room temperature. Also, add some salt to the water when cooking the eggs, this will help the shells stay intact.

How do you mark eggs that a hen is sitting on?
Q. I have two banty hens sitting on a pile of eggs together side by side, but there are too many eggs under them to keep warm at once. Every day as more eggs are laid by other hens they scoop those in the pile and sit on those as well. I thought i would mark 6 eggs with stickers and call it good. That way every morning I can go get the fresh eggs and know which ones are fresh. Will the hens take offence to the stickers on the eggs? Are there any better ways to mark them?

A. i had the same problem a while back. the ideal situation would be to prevent the other hens from laying eggs into the nests. however, if you can't do that, u could resort to using a pencil or crayon. just make a clear mark on each egg. the hens will not be bothered by the marks. make sure to check the nests when the hens leave to feed, taking out the freshly laid eggs.

How many medium eggs are 5 large ones?
Q. I've my boyfriend's parents coming over in a bit for dinner and I'm not sure if there's a big difference between medium eggs and large eggs. 5 large eggs, says the recipe. Can I use 5 medium or should I add one more medium egg? I'm cooking a flourless chocolate cake. It's supposed to be really easy so I'm hoping I can't eff this up. Why is it that I can spot a tiny flaw in a contract and save my client several million, but I can't cook?

A. It really wouldn't matter at all because in most recipes eggs are used to keep things held together otherwise it may crumble and fall a part into pieces very easily, but this would depend on what your cooking. But i'd go for 6 medium eggs. They said large eggs for a reason :)

A. when you boil the eggs, start with cold water, add eggs, bring water to a boil, turn eggs on low for 20 minutes to 1/2 hour, then put eggs in ice water and keep them cold adding more ice for about 1/2 hour... the eggs will peel beautifully

How many eggs are needed to make scrambled eggs for 30 people?
Q. I've got to make scrambled eggs for breakfast at work, and we have about 30 people. About how many dozen eggs should I use?
Asked by what the heck? - Tue Aug 28 22:06:54 2007 - - 22 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It depends on if you are going to add extra ingredients like ham, cheese, and maybe green peppers. If it's just eggs, then go for 5 or 6 dozen, so there will be plenty. If you are adding things, then 3 or 4 dozen will be enough.

A. Some of the acid content and salt is absorbed into the first batch of eggs, so the concentration is reduced. If the concentrations fall too low, the pickling process will not retard the decay process. You can 'top up' any salt, but for the vinegar, you might want to add a bit of the 'concentrated pickling vinegar' or 'vinegar essence'. You might want to bring the liquid to the boil (before you top up) if you are concerned about hygiene, but the acid and salt are the long time traditional 'disinfecting agents' anyway, which is WHY they were used from ancient times! Do NOT boil the mixture in an aluminum pan, it will dissolve it and the aluminum can cause health problems! Use Stainless Steel or ceramic. You might want to add a little… [cont.]

Shouldnt eggs be cooked in recipes? Is there the same danger in egg subsitute?
Q. My mom would never serve something that was not cooked that contained raw eggs. Like a pudding pie, egg nog etc. Does egg substitue have the same issue? I have been seeing recent recipes using eggs that are not cooked. I would think that with all the raw food warnings this would be a problem. Does keeping the food with the egg cold make a difference?

Asked by Honey Everything - Thu May 27 21:33:57 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You'll want at least a dozen each. The best ones to buy are goose eggs (the big purple ones) but it depends on where you live - some areas don't sell them. After you get your eggs, leave them out in the sunshine for at least a few days. This will get them nice and stinky! I suggest carrying them in the carton, but also in a disposable dark colored bag - in case you get caught you can ditch the bag quick. Have fun!

A. I hate that..have had the same thing happen, and had to turn it all into egg salad before even, because the eggs looked so bad. Here are some good tips. * You can make the eggs easier to peel by using eggs at least one week old, and by adding plenty of salt to the boiling water. You can also add two or three teaspoons of white vinegar to the water. It is also easier to peel the eggs when they are properly cooled. * It is easier to peel the eggs if you crack it a little at the less pointy end, peel a little and then slide a spoon under the shell. Just move the spoon around under the shell and it will easily remove the rest!

I have axolotl eggs. How can I tell which eggs to remove due to them being unfertilised or gone bad?
Q. Hi there. My axolotl eggs are 8 days old and about half of them are formed the way they should be. With the rest, some look like they did when they were laid where they are still just black balls, and the rest are white but it's like it's an egg yolk that has been broken as inside the outer layer it's spreading. None of these ones look like the formed babies. I know you have to remove the ones that have gone 'off'. Are these the ones that need to be removed? Thanks

A. It all depends if it is fertal or not. If the roster mated with the chicken then it will be fertal. Chickens can lay eggs randomly. So it lays eggs all the time witch they are unfertal eggs. u can have a bunch of chickens with out a roster and have eggs to eat, but if u have chickens and a roster u have the chance of gettin a fertal eggs.

Is it okay to eat raw eggs that have reached room temperature and then been refrigerated?
Q. Please don't even respond to this question if you are not a supporter of raw eggs. Your replies will be ignored. I eat raw eggs on an almost daily basis. I accidently shut off my refrigerator and the eggs in the refrigerator may have reached close to room temperature for awhile. The refrigerator was turned back on and the eggs re-cooled. What is the potential danger of consuming them raw now if any?

A. raw eggs are a Potentially Hazardous Food (PHF), so they need extra care that's all. In this case I would say that you should by new eggs, and if you are not sure how long they sat unrefrigerated definetly get new eggs. When we work with eggs in school they are alway kept on ice after taken out.

How many eggs eat can you eat without eating the yolk?
Q. I want to increase my protein but I have no idea how much egg (without yolk) can be eaten a week. So how much eggs can I consume with the yolks removed? Anyone also have any idea what to do with the yolks to prevent wastage by throwing them away?
Asked by s s - Mon Jan 18 12:17:38 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. What limits your intake of eggs is the yolk due to the cholesterol content. If you're only eating the white, you can as many as you want. As for not wasting the yolks, a friend once told me to cook them and give them to the birds outside. Apparently they love egg yolks and are actually good for them. I find it a bit ironic that birds will eat eggs though, but at least the yolks don't go to waste. Hope this helps and best of luck! For more info on eggs:

Why do you add eggs to flour?
Q. I've noticed in recipes that when baking all purpose flour requires eggs. To my understanding self rising flour is just all purpose without the yeast. I can see why you need to add yeast, but when converting a recipe from all purpose flour to self rising, do I still need to add the egg? What will happen if I start adding an egg to my buttermilk biscuits?

A. Oh, dear ... self-rising flour is flour with baking powder added /// it is not true that recipes that call for all purpose flour also call for eggs ... for example, buttermilk biscuits can be made with just soda, and no eggs; if you add an egg to a buttermilk biscuit recipe, it certainly will not hurt it but you will need to adjust the flour measure to more since the egg is a wet ingredient. to say it another way: flour is flour; it may or may not be self-rising. If it is self-rising, you do not need to add baking powder to your recipe. The only alteration you might need to make is to add soda to a recipe if you are using self-rising flour in case there is fruit, buttermilk or another sour milk like sour cream or yoghurt, … [cont.]

A. Discus eggs, and other cichlid eggs, are typically a clear and/or slightly pink color when fertilized. If they are young discus, I would give them another chance before taking the eggs and hatching them yourself. Raising discus fry is very difficult because part of their feeding when they are very young is actually off the mucous excreted on the sides of the parents. If your tank is in a well traveled part of the house, they could be bothered by pets or people walking past the tank. Try taping some black poster paper on the front and one side (the side closest to the eggs) of the tank next time they lay eggs to cut down on outside motion. I would also put a small night light (like for a kid's bedroom) next to the tank so they can see… [cont.]

A. Place an egg at the bottom of a glass full of water. Eggshells are porous, and over time they dry out, letting air in and moisture out. So... * If the egg lies at the bottom on its side, the egg is pretty fresh. * If the egg sinks, but with one end up, it's getting old but is still edible. * If the egg floats at all, it's time to go buy some fresh ones. If you prefers egg whites, then save some time and money by buying eggs in bulk and separating them right away. Egg whites freeze very well and can even be kept up to three or four days covered in the refrigerator.
