Store Eggs • Pointed End Down • In covered Container • Away from Heat and light • WHY? • Keeping eggs in the main body of the fridge (not on the door) keeps them at a more constant, colder temperature. • Keeping eggs in their original cartons protects them from taking on any off-odors from any strong-smelling goods in the fridge (eg. onions, strong cheeses or meats). • Keeping eggs pointed end down protects the yolk from touching the end.
Egg Cookery Principles • Use Low Temperature for best tenderness and palatability • Use Gentle Heat • Do not let any fat or yolk mix with white while beating whites. • Cook thoroughly • WHY?
