times have you boiled eggs only to have them not peel nicely? Or had them crack during boiling and run out all over the pan? Well, there's a couple tips that will help you in your quest for perfect eggs and then some.1. Use this handy little tip to find out if your eggs are fresh or stale.
Immerse your eggs in a pan of cool, salted water. If they rise to the top, they are stale. If they sink, they are fresh.
2. Raw or hard-boiled?
Spin the egg. If it wobbles, it is raw. If it spins easily, it is hard-boiled.
3. Poached eggs
Add a couple of drops of vinegar to the water when poaching eggs. It will keep the egg from running all over the pan.
4. Cracked shell?
A couple of drops of vinegar in the water will also keep the egg from running out of its shell if cracked during boiling.
5. Do you want more meringue for your buck?
Add one tablespoon of water per egg white to increase the quantity of beaten egg whites when making meringue.
6. Peeling hard-boiled eggs
Quickly rinse boiled eggs in cold water after boiling and the shells will peel beautifully.
7. Another peeling tip
Fresh eggs usually do not peel nicely. Buy your eggs one week before boiling them and they should peel nicely (don't forget to rinse them in cold water after boiling!)
8. Fresh yolks
Cover egg yolks with cold water and store them in the fridge to keep them fresh for days.
9. Great tasting coffee
Add eggshells to coffee after it has perked for a great taste.
