Learning objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you should be able to know the various
classifications of egg dishes
1. Sunny Side Up ---- white of the egg is set and the yolk is totally raw.
2. Over Easy ---- turn the eggs near the end of cooking time 20 – 30 seconds.
3. Over Medium ---- one minute cooking time for over medium yolk is firm.
4. Well done ---- two minutes cooking time for over hard or well done.
5. Basted Eggs ---- pour hot oil while cooking until lightly white on top of yolk.
Cooking of Poach Eggs ------ bring water salt and vinegar to simmer 180oF add the
shell eggs to the simmering water for about 3 – 4 minutes remove the eggs put into ice
cold water and reheat for later service, it may be cooked soft or hard.
1. Coddled Eggs --- lower cold eggs in simmering water for 30 seconds.
2. Soft Cooked Eggs --- simmer the eggs for 3 – 4 minutes.
3. Medium Cooked eggs --- simmer the eggs for 5 – 7 minutes.
4. Hard Cooked Eggs --- simmer the eggs for 10 – 12 minutes.
Cooking of Scramble Eggs --- beat the eggs until white and yolks are combined put
butter in a low heat pan then pour the eggs cook until soft moist texture.
Flavor variation

Although the age of the eggs and the conditions, of its storage has a greater influence,
the bird's diet does affect the flavor of the egg. For example, when a brown-egg chicken
breed eats rapeseed or soy meals, its intestinal microbes metabolize them into fishy-
smelling triethylamine, which ends up in the egg. The unpredictable diet of free-range
hens will produce unpredictable eggs. Duck eggs tend to have a flavor distinct from, but
still resembling, chicken eggs.
Eggs can also be soaked in mixtures to absorb flavor. Tea eggs are steeped in a brew
from a mixture of various spices, soy sauce, and black tea leaves to give flavor.
1. Get a clean tray then arrange the cup over it cracked the eggs on cup then cover
with plastic film and refrigerate at 41oF below.
2. The remaining whole eggs should be place in a container with ice in the bottom
and on the top of the eggs to maintain proper temperature of 41oF below.
3. Cover with plastic film and put in the fridge with a temperature of 41oF below.
4. Get a clean tray then arrange the cup over it cracked the eggs on cup then cover
with plastic film and refrigerated at 41 F below.
5. The remaining whole eggs are place in a container with a ice in a bottom and on
the top of the eggs to maintain proper temperature of 41 F below.
6. Cover with a plastic film and put in the fridge with a temperature of 41 F below.
Preservation
The simplest method to preserve an egg is to treat it with salt. Salt draws water out
of bacteria and molds, which prevents their growth. The Chinese salted duck egg is
made by immersing duck eggs in brine, or coating them individually with a paste of salt
and mud or clay. The eggs stop absorbing salt after about a month, having reached
osmotic equilibrium. Their yolks take on an orange-red color and solidify, but the white
STORING EGGS
Check the expiration date. This would be stamped on the box or carton. There will
also be a "pack date" shown in numbers from 1 to 365 (for example, 248 is the
248th day of the year, or September 5). Be sure you will be able to consume all the
eggs before they're expected to go bad.
When buying from the farmer's market where eggs have no stamped expiration
date, hold the egg against a strong source of light. Look for the air bubble at the
rounded end of the egg. The smaller the air bubble, the fresher the egg (almost
invisible in newly-laid eggs).
Put the egg in a cup of cold water. If it sinks and remains still, it's fresh; if it tilts
or floats, it's going bad.
Weigh the egg in your hand. If it feels heavy for its size, it's good.
When you break the egg, a fresh one will have a thick white and a round and firm
yolk. As the egg loses its freshness, the white becomes thinner and runnier, and
the yolk becomes flatter and softer (breaks easily).
Break it and smell it. A bad egg smells like a bad egg. Refrigerate Until Ready For
Use
Keep the eggs in their original cartons, with the rounded ends up.
Place the carton on the lowest rack or a little towards the back--the coldest areas
of the refrigerator.
Keep the egg cartons closed to minimize exposure to strong odors.
Take the eggs out of the refrigerator ahead of time (to warm up to room
temperature) for soft boiling or baking. Cold eggs will crack when dropped in
boiling water, cold whites will not whisk well, and cold yolks will not blend well in
sauces and mayonnaise.
