Egg Facts
- A fresh egg will sink in water, a stale one will float
- A hen requires ± 24-26 hours to produce an egg.
- Protein, found in eggs, is needed for every part of your body: the skin, muscles, hair, blood, body organs, eyes, even fingernails and bones
- It is said that each pleat on a chef’s hat represents another way of preparing eggs.
- The protein in the egg is destroyed when the egg is overcooked. (E.g. the brown edges on a fried egg.)
- Put eggs in the fridge if they are not going to be eaten within an hour.
- Do not use an egg if it is cracked or leaking.
- For easy peeling of a boiled egg, immediately cool the egg under cold running water. Crack the shell all over by gently tapping the egg on the countertop.
