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 odours.
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
coloured and displayed decoratively
should not be consumed - enjoy
their colourful display and discard.
Cook extra eggs for eating and
consider the discarded eggs an
inexpensive way to decorate.
