How do you neutralize too salty deviled eggs?
The only way I know of is to dilute it with more stuff, works great on a soup or stew, not so well on a casserole.
Add sliced or diced potatoes to take up the excess salt. Potatoes need salt in cooking to enhance the flavour, so when you add them to an over-salted dish they sop up the excess, diluting the taste in each serving. Works for me!
The potato trick works. If it's a soupy dish like soup, stew, or chili, you can add a few large pieces of potato and remove them after they are cooked so you don't have to eat the potato.
Who supplies eggs to sainsburys?
Ah, what a lovely question! The eggs you find at Sainsbury's come from a variety of suppliers, all working hard to bring you fresh and delicious eggs. Whether they come from local farms or larger producers, each egg is a little work of art just waiting to be cracked open and create something wonderful in your kitchen. Just imagine the happy chickens clucking around, knowing their eggs will bring joy to someone's day.
How many ounces in a scrambled egg?
A scrambled egg typically weighs around 1.5 to 2 ounces, depending on the size of the egg and any additional ingredients added during the scrambling process. The weight of a scrambled egg can vary slightly based on factors such as the cooking method and the desired consistency of the final dish. It is important to note that the weight of a scrambled egg is not an exact science and can vary from egg to egg.
How do you successfully microwave an egg?
1) Crack in into a lightly microwavable dish.
2) Break the yoke.
3) Add a couple drops of water.
4) Cover with a clean paper towel.
Cook until almost done, as it will continue to cook as long as it is hot. Then add a little salt and black pepper.
Yes, eggs are a terrific source of protein, as are meats.
Are eggs a starch or a protein?
Eggs are a good source of protein. Egg yolks have about half of the protein, but also contain substantial cholesterol, which may be a dietary concern. There are prepared egg substitutes that reduce this content.
Eggs / Protein (g)
Egg, whole raw, 1 large 6.25g
Egg, whole, raw, 1 medium 5.5g
Egg yolk, raw, 1 large 2.78g
Egg white, raw, 1 large 3.51g
Egg, whole, fried 6.23g
Egg, whole, scrambled 6.76g
Egg, whole, boiled 6.29g
Egg, substitute, liquid, 1/4 cup 7.53g
Egg white is about 10% protein (with the remainder being mostly water), of which a bit over half is a protein called albumen.
If the egg floats is it a bad egg?
Yes, eggs are porous and as they age an air pocket forms in the eggs causing it to float. At the same time water vapor and gases are leaving the egg. This difference in mass will cause the egg to float.
Is a cooked egg a chemical change?
yes, a chemical change is anything that cannot be reversed, you cannot uncook an egg!
The proteins in the egg are denatured and crosslinked by the heat.
How much potassium is in a egg?
Chemistry professor Charles Weber offers a list of potassium-containing foods
http://charles_w.tripod.com/table3.html
in his book suggesting potassium as a possible curative agent in the treatment of hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
Foods are listed as mg numbers per calorie. He lists an 80-calorie egg (frozen or unfrozen) as 0.8, so the multiple is 64 mg of potassium.
Weber's site contains many links to his and other works.
Is a Egg an Heterogeneous Mixture?
No, an egg is not a heterogeneous mixture. It is considered a homogenous mixture because it is made up of different components (yolk, egg white, membrane) that are evenly distributed throughout the egg.
How many eggs are produced each year in California?
California produces around 6 to 7 billion eggs per year, making it the leading egg-producing state in the U.S.
Does cooking an egg have an effect on protein absorption?
I am going to assume that you are asking if cooking an egg has any affect on how your body absorbs its proteins.
The answer is; not really. Your body would still get all the protein, though it would have to work harder if it was a raw egg.
Think of cooking as a process that is very similar to digestion. When our bodies digest proteins, we are actually breaking them down into their peptides and essential amino acids. So all you are doing by cooking the egg is to 'pre-digest' a bit in order to give your body less work to do.
In other words, when Sly Stallone 'Rocky' drank the raw eggs, it was more of an exhibition on masochism than good nutrition.
What is the meaning to the joke, what you say when lost.not scrambled or fried?
The joke plays on the double meaning of "lost" and the context of food, specifically eggs. When someone says "what you say when lost," it sets up an expectation for a witty or clever phrase. The punchline "not scrambled or fried" humorously suggests that instead of expressing confusion, the person is referring to eggs that are in their original state, which is "not scrambled" or "not fried." This wordplay creates a lighthearted twist on the idea of being lost.
Is it possible to cook something like green eggs and ham without using food coloring?
Yes, you can make green eggs by blending spinach or another green vegetable with the eggs before cooking. For the ham, you can use natural ingredients like pesto or fresh herbs to add a green color without using food coloring.
What type of reaction occurs when an egg is cooked in a pan?
Endothermic, because energy is absorbed from the surrounding (Apex Physics 2023)
What do meat milk and egg in our diet?
To answer simply, eggs and milk are both great protein sources. An average size egg contains about 6g of protein (12%), whilst a glass of milk contains about 8g of protein (3.5%). The protein is also high quality & is easily broken down by the body into usable amino acids. If someone does not eat meat (e.g. Vegetarians) they will need a good protein alternative; milk & eggs is one good source.
How often do birds lay eggs in a year?
Typically, birds can lay eggs once a day at most - in some cases less often when eggs are slow to develop.
In the Enriched and Tropical Worlds where annual cycles are fairly regular and productivity high, it is very rare for parental care to be so prolonged as to inhibit breeding each year. With those Enriched and Tropical World birds that do have relatively prolonged parental care, dispersal is rapid enough that broods can be raised each year.
In the Unenriched World of Australia and Southern Africa, parental care in obligate cooperative breeders such as the White-Winged Chough may be very prolonged, but the large number of helpers means that second broods can be reared when the first is still dependent. This again means that breeding less often than annually is not likely.
The few birds where parental care is prolonged enough to prevent annual breeding are very large, altricial or semialtricial and if terrestrial occur invariably in the Tropical or Unenriched Worlds. They include:
- some large parrots such as the Palm Cockatoo
- numerous raptors such as eagles and certain other predators such as ground hornbills
- large seabirds like albatrosses and frigatebirds
What is a fresher grade or an AAA egg?
The grading of eggs is done by "candling" in which a light is shown through the egg to determine the quality of the contents. If the yolk is unbroken and round then it is considered "A" grade and suitable for retail or home use. A grade of AA is given to fresh eggs with a strong shell that can be cooked, unbroken, and made into hard or soft boiled eggs. So, yes, AA is slightly better than a simple A.
How many calories in 2 poached eggs and 2 grilled bacon rashers?
The amount of bacon and how the home fires are cooked alter the calorie count. Frying the potatoes in butter ups calories drastically.
Why do rotten eggs float in water?
As the egg decomposes, the mass of the egg is reduced. This is because the egg shell is porous and water vapor and gases can escape over time, reducing the mass of the egg. If the mass of the egg is less than the mass of the volume of water displaced by the egg, it will float.
