Will hard boiled eggs be easier to peel after sitting in the refrigerator overnight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Absolutely. If you want to use them right away, then put them in cold water until you can handle them long enough to peel them (about 10 or 15 minutes). But if you don't need them right away, they can be put in the fridge for a few days and peeled anytime. You can boil up a few and then eat them as hard-boiled eggs during the week. Or boil up eggs ahead of time to make into deviled eggs the next day.

How do you cook dove eggs - for how long?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the same way as any other eggs but very very fast since they are so small. In a pan, whether scrambled or fried, when they look done they are. If boiling them I would start with room temperature water and guess it will take less than 2 minutes after the water boils maybe even less than 1 minute then shock them in ice water.

I am pretty sure that you smell them but not completely. There are probably loads of ways to tell but that's how I tell

Put an egg (raw and still in the shell) into a bowl of cold water. If it sinks it's good, but if it floats it's gone off.

When were fried eggs invented?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They were invented when a teridactal layed an egg on a huge rock that just happened to be covered in trans-fats [it was 94 degrees Celsius outside] so a cave man waked along and ate some. The cave man liked it so he decided to invent trans-fats to help him make more fried eggs. answered by a really smart guy [peace]

When boiling eggs do you but the eggs in before or after the water is boiling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was commonly believed that adding salt to water lowers the boiling temperature of water and causes it to boil faster, however this was shown to cause such a small change that it was rendered insignificant (however covering the pot will decrease loss of heat and will cause the water to boil faster than an uncovered pot).

Adding salt to water essentially only adds flavor to the pasta that you are cooking, so adding salt before or after the water is boiling really doesn't matter. What does matter is that you add the salt before you add the pasta.

Can you feed a newborn robin mashed hard boiled eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you can feed newborn robins well mashed up hard boiled eggs but only the yolk. You should feed it with tweezers to represent the mother's beak too. Also make sure you give it water but not in a bowl. Do it the same way you would feed it but with water droplets on you finger or with a needleless syringe (duh!). You can feed it that way too.

Why is a dark ring sometimes seen around the yolk of a boiled egg?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most people over cook their hard boiled eggs. Hydrogen sulphide generated by the decomposition of sulphur-containing amino acids in the white will react with iron in the yolk causing a (harmless) grey-green film of ferrous sulphide to form on the surface of the yolk.

Put 2 week old eggs (fresh eggs are hard to peel, and by the time eggs reach the store they are about a week old) in saucepan covered by a inch of water.

Bring to a rolling boil on high.

Immediatly reduce heat to medium and leave for 10 minutes.

Put eggs into ice water for a few minutes.

Peel.

What is the difference between hard boiled eggs and soft boiled eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A hard boiled egg is cooked until solid all the way through, a normal 'soft' boiled egg the centre yolk will still be runny, To test the egg you need to do is spin the egg on a flat surface, if the egg is soft boiled it will wobble because part of the egg is still liquid, if it is hard boiled it will spin on end, because the contents are solid.

What are three stages of beating egg whites?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Firstly, you crack the egg, then you separate the white from the yolk, then you put it in the bowl, then you go to your drawer and grab a hand beater, then you place the beater in the bowl, then you start winding the handle looking thing on the hand beater, and you keep doing this until the egg white is throthy.

The first stage of beaten egg whites is the foamy stage. In this stage, the bubbles form on the surface, but not all the white is broken up. The foam is unstable, still fluid, and it starts to become opalescent. The air cells are variable in size but are generally quite large. At this stage, acid salt and vanilla are added. The second stage is soft peaks. The air cells are medium fine and all the white exists as foams. The foam is fairly stable although slight drainage is possible. The mixture is shiny and flows readily in the bowl. The mass is elastic and soft peaks fall over to near the base of the foam as beater is lifted from the foam. More sugar is added during after this stage. The third stage is the stiff peaks. The air cells are fine and the mixture is very white and opaque. The foam is quite stable although some drainage will occur with prolonged standing. The mixture is shiny, elastic, flows slowly in the bowl. Egg whites for soufflés and omelets are beaten to this stage. Egg whites and sugar are beaten to this stage for angel cakes and pie meringues in order to retain elasticity. Finally, dry is the last stage. The air cells are very fine. The mixture is extremely white but dull. It is not stable and will not flow in the bowl. The mass is brittle and inelastic; peaks remain at rigid points. This stage is usually avoided. Reconstituted, dehydrated egg whites must be beaten to this stage for all products including commercial angel cake mixes.

What is the difference between cooked and uncooked egg?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference between a cooked egg and a raw egg is that when a egg is cooked the clear/yellow gooey stuff turns white and turns into a solid. A raw egg doesn't have the white stuff because it has not been added to heat. This is an example of a chemical change.

Why do you eat boiled eggs on Easter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eggs are symbols of life and fertility and were used in Springtime rituals and celebrations long before Christianity spread through the Roman Empire. When Christianity was imposed on various cultures, old symbols and rituals were reinterpreted and given "Christian" meanings. Instead of representing the fertility of the Goddess, eggs became symbols of the Holy Trinity because each egg is one unity with three elements: shell, white and yolk. Another metaphor compares the egg's hard, apparently lifeless shell to the stone tomb of Jesus Christ, who emerged from the tomb in somewhat the same way as a living chick hatches from an egg. Boiled eggs are more convenient than raw eggs to decorate, give as gifts and use as decorations on Easter.

What country invented the omelette?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Eggs have been known to, and enjoyed by, humans for many centuries. Jungle fowl were domesticated in India by 3200 B.C.E. Record from China and Egypt show that fowl were domesticated and laying eggs for human consumption around 1400 B.C.E., and there is archaeological evidence for egg consumption dating back to the Neolithic age. The Romans found egg-laying hens in England, Gaul, and among the Germans. The first domesticated fowl reached North America with the second voyage of Columbus in 1493."

---Encyclopedia of Food and Culture, Solomon H. Katz, editor, William Woys Weaver, associate editor [Charles Scribner's Sons:New York] 2003, Volume 1 (p. 558)

According Alan Davidson's Oxford Companion to Food[Oxford University Press:Oxford] 1999 (p. 550, 553), the word omelette" is of French origin and came into use during the mid-16th century. Somewhat similar egg dishes were known to and ancient medieval cooks. Mr. Davidson traces the origins of the omelette to ancient Persia. We know the Ancient Romans often combined eggs and dairy products into patinae, custards and a variety of other sweet and savory dishes. C. Anne Wilson comments: "The precursor to the omlette in Britain was known as a herbolace and in the late fourteenth century was a mixture of eggs and shredded herbs, baked in a buttered dish. A contemporary French recipe under the same name is much more detailed, and gives instructions for heating oil, butter or fat thoroughly in a frying pan before pouring in eight well-beaten eggs (of medieval size) mixed with brayed herbs and ginger. The French version was finished off with grated cheese on top, and appears to have been quite close to the modern concept of an omelette."

---Food and Drink in Britain From the Stone Age to the 19th Century [Academy Chicago Press:Chicago] 1991 ( p. 142).

"Omelette...a sweet of savoury dish made from beaten whole eggs, cooked in a frying pan, and served plain or with various additions....Omelettes were known during the Middle Ages. In the 17th century one of the most famous omelettes was omelette du cure, containing soft carp roes and tuna fish, which Brillat-Savarin [a food writer] much admired."

To remove one part from another as the yolk from the white of an egg?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To remove, for example, the yolk from the white of an egg is to separate the egg.

This is achieved by using an egg separator, which catches the yolk in a bowl-like section while allowing the white to run through into a container below; you can use a cup to catch the white. This is the neatest and quickest method.

Or you can carefully crack the egg in half and, holding over a cup or bowl, tilt the shell halves as you tip the yolk back and forth from one to the other until the white has all run off and just the yolk is left in one half of the shell.

Some cooks like to crack the egg into their hand and pass it back and forth between hands, allowing the white to run off between the fingers until just the yolk is left in the palm of the hand. You need a reasonably large bowl to take the egg white if you separate the egg this way, a cup won't do, and it's messy, but some people like the feel of raw egg. Wash your hands thoroughly in cold water if you use this method.

All utensils used with raw egg should be initially cleaned well with cold - never hot - water. You can wash them later in hot water when you do the final cleanup of the kitchen.
