What happens when an egg is fried?
Frying does many things to an egg. First, it coagulates the proteins. The proteins become denatured and stick together, causing the egg to harden and turn opaque. Second, it dehydrates the egg. Frying drives off moisture and makes the egg dryer. Third, it browns the egg. Browning is caused mostly by maillard browning, which is a chemical reaction between sugar and protein. Forth, it increases the fat content of the egg. Fifth, it inactivates microbes and enzymes that may be present in the egg.
What causes whole eggs to explode when cooked in the microwave?
They don't. Unless you cook them too long or let pressure build inside.
All eggs have an air pocket that the chick would use if the egg was fertilized. If you heat air it will expand until the egg bursts. Use a pushpin or a needle to make a while in the wide underside of the egg to let air escape during cooking to avoid the bursting.
How many ounces by weight is 1 large egg?
One large egg weighs approximately 2 ounces. Each egg is classified into medium, large, extra large, and jumbo based on their actual weight.
1 large egg: 1.75 ounces 1 large egg white: 1 ounce 1 large egg yolk: 0.75 ounce
There're lots of ways to cook an egg. You can boil it, scramble it, poach it, bake it, baste it, fry it, and the list goes on. Eggs are very versatile foodstuffs!
How old should eggs be before you boil them?
I'm pretty sure you can never be too old for eggs. People who are in their 80's still eat eggs.
How many carbohydrates are in scrambled eggs?
Eggs contain less than 1 gram of carbohydrate, so they are commonly recommended by most low carb diets. In addition, eggs are probably the best source of protein. However, some egg-dishes - like quiche - are high in carbs due to their pastry content.
Yes all you need to do is cut the root end and the greens ends off and then peel like a potato. But make sure that you don't put it on anything that you don't want stained that beautiful magenta color!
How long can you leave raw eggs out?
If your eggs are in their shell and left on the counter or in their carton on the counter they are just fine. Eggs actually don't have to be refrigerated at all! As long as the eggs aren't "old" eggs, they are just fine. They should be used as of the "used by date" labeled on the carton.
What is the best way to shell an egg?
Keep the shell under water while peeling, running faucet or pan. Peel it while still warm, not hot or cold, and start at the large end where the air pocket is. The water lubricates the membrane so it doesn't stick to the albumen (egg white). Always cool hot eggs as soon as possible while keeping them submerged, to avoid oxidation of the sulfurous layer on the egg yolk, which turns green. Cooked egg whites are oxygen permeable.
How do you measure 3 egg whites?
1. You can separate them using egg shell. Break an egg keeping it over a bowl, try to keep 2 halfs of the shell in a shape of small cups, leaving most of the egg with yolk in one of them. The whites would get into your bowl. If there are still wites in a shell, transfer them togeter with yolk into another part of shell. 2. Use a table spoon. Break an egg over a bowl onto the spoon. I never use this method, usually I go with either 1 or 3. 3. Easiest way - buy an egg separator. It is not costly and works I would say 99% fine.

How do you make red yolked hard boiled eggs?
For perfect hard-boiled eggs (eggs that are fully cooked but not dry, and without a grey ring around the yolk), place uncooked eggs in a saucepan large enough to accomodate them. Fill the saucepan with COLD water - eggs should be completely covered, plus one additional inch of water. Cover the saucepan, and place over high heat. As soon as the water begins to boil, *immediately* remove the saucepan from the heat. Set the timer for 10 minutes, and let the eggs sit (leave the cover on). Meanwhile, fill a bowl large enough to hold all the eggs with cold water and ice cubes. When the timer rings, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice water with a slotted sppon. Let sit for 5 minutes. Done! Perfect hard-boiled eggs!
How can you tell if an egg has gone bad?
There are several ways but the easiest way is to put the egg into a dish of water, if the egg floats discard it. If it does not float but turns small end up but does not break the surface then it is probably stale. Another way is to "candle" it or shine a very bright light into it and see what it looks like inside. dark spots mean it has either blood spots or an embryo inside and it is best thrown away or boiled up for pets to eat. Small blood spots are not unusual and can be ignored as they disappear when cooked. As with any suspect food keep this in mind.."when in doubt throw it out".
How do you make a century egg?
You will need to get your eggs (12 or equivalent of duck eggs, (FRESH IS BEST)) , 2 c strong black tea, 2 c Ashes of pine wood, 2 c Ashes of charcoal, 2 c Fireplace ashes, 1 c Lime (not the fruit, go to a nursery or gardening supplies store to get it), And 1/3 c salt
Then to prepare it
Combine tea, salt, ashes and lime. Using about 1/3 of it
per egg, thickly coat each egg completely with this
clay-like mixture. Line a large crock with garden soil
and carefully lay coated eggs on top. Cover with more
soil and place crock in a cool dark place. Allow to
cure for 100 days. To remove coating, scrape eggs and
rinse under running water to clean thoroughly. Crack
lightly and remove shells. The white of the egg will
appear a grayish, translucent color and have a
gelatinous texture. The yolk, when sliced, will be a
grayish-green color.
Or if you are more adventures
Preparing the pickling solution:
- Water 1L
- Sodium chloride(NaCl) 72g
- Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) 42g
Dissolve the NaCl and NaOH completely in water. Bring the solution to a boil and allow it to cool down before use.
Submerge the eggs in the saline solution, and store at 15 to 20°C for about 10 days.
Pick out the pickled eggs and rinse them. Then allow them to dry naturally.
Coat with PVA (polyvinyl acetate) or some other non-ventilated packaging material. An alternative is to add red soil to the saline solution after the pickled eggs are removed. Coat the eggs with the mud, and roll them in rice husk. Age for about 2 weeks.
Crack the eggs lightly and remove the shell. The white of the egg will have a grayish, translucent color, and a gelatinous texture. The yolk, when sliced, will be a grayish-green color.

How do you boil an egg at altitude?
As you climb in altitude, there is less air above you. With less air pressing down, there is less air pressure, and water vapor can form more easily; that is, it takes less energy (heat) to boil. This table shows the height / temp relationship for boiling water:
Sea Level 212 degrees F
2,000 ft. 208 degrees F
5,000 ft. 203 degrees F
7,500 ft. 198 degrees F
10,000 ft. 194 degrees F
Above 5,000 feet (1,800 metres), you may have to double the normal boiling time. For extreme heights (above 10,000 feet) the water might boil away before your egg is done, unless you use a pressure cooker.
How many eggs equal six ounces?
One large egg is the equivalent to 1.67 ounces, so a little less than two large eggs.
