  • Technique of the Quarter: Egg Cookery
    Technique of the Quarter: Egg Cookery Legend has it that the folds on a chef’s hat represent the many ways he or she can prepare eggs. Egg cookery includes a variety of preparation techniques: eggs boiled in the shell, baked eggs, poached eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, three styles of omelets, and soufflés. Boiled Eggs The word "boiling," although commonly used, does not correctly explain the technique; "simmering" is more accurate. These egg dishes run the gamut from coddled eggs to hard-boiled eggs. You may see the term "hard-cooked" instead of hard-boiled. In addition to their role in breakfast menus, boiled eggs are used in a number of other preparations. They may be served as cold hors d'oeuvre or canapés, salads, and garnishes. Selection of Equipment • pot large enough to hold eggs and water to cover by at least 2 inches • ice bath to cool eggs after cooking, if necessary • colander • containers for holding cooked eggs or heated plates for service Selection of Ingredients • whole fresh shell eggs • water Intellectual property of The Culinary Institute of America ● From the pages of The Professional Chef ® ,8th edition ● Courtesy of the Admissions Department Items can be reproduced for classroom purposes only and cannot be altered for individual use. Technique 1. Place the eggs in a sufficient amount of water to completely submerge them. • For coddled, soft-, or medium-cooked eggs, bring the water to a simmer first. • Hard-cooked eggs may start in either boiling or cold water. 2. Bring (or return) the water to a simmer.

  • PYREX Transparent Ovenware, and Uses That Piece on Every Possible Occasion, Whether It Be a Pie Plate, a Casserole, Or a Bread Pan
    PERFECT BAKING BEAUTIFULLY SERVED Recipes prepared by ALICE BRADLEY Farmers School of Cookery, Boston Copyright 1924 by Corning Glass Works, Corning, N. Y. INTRODUCTION v e r y up-to -date housekeeper owns at least one piece of E PYREX Transparent Ovenware, and uses that piece on every possible occasion, whether it be a pie plate, a casserole, or a bread pan. There are many occasions, however, when the one piece of PYREX is not just the right shape and size for the thing that is to be baked. It is too large or too small or not the right shape or is being used for something else. A study of the accompanying cuts will give an idea of the great variety of lovely and useful shapes in which PYREX Ovenware can be purchased, and the numberless appetizing things that can be baked in these dishes. Much time and effort are conserved if food can be sent to the table in the dish in which it is cooked. The flavor and appearance are enhanced by this modern and attractive method of baking. The use of odds and ends of left-overs becomes a joy when they can be served up “ au gratin,” “ en casserole,” or in a pudding. This saves the purchase of new material, and there is a saving of pennies that soon mounts to dollars. The work of preparing the daily meals will be more inter- esting, the dishwashing will be easier, and the dining table more attractive if the supply of PYREX is increased from time to time and if PYREX is used on every possible occasion.

  • Vozens of Eggs •
    • EGGS • A Dozen Reasons and Dozens of Ways to use Vozens of eggs • By Christine Carlson Extension Nutritionist Ohio State University Bulletin 206 of the Agricultural Extension Service Ohio State University Eggs • A Dozen Ways Eggs l-lelp Build the Highway to Health 1. Protein of egg is of excellent quality and is efficient because the body can easily use it for body repair and growth. "Next to milk, eggs are the most important protein food in the diet of the growing child," says Dr. Mary Swartz Rose. 2. The richness of vitamin A in egg yolk makes it important in the diet. It helps children in growth, and improves gen­ eral health and stamina of both children and adults, so the Rich in vitamins body has an increased resistance to diseases. 3. The rich iron content of egg yolk is a good blood builder and does not vary with the diet of the hen. One egg yolk is about equal in quantity of iron to two small potatoes. + Vitamin D in egg yolk represents the richest natural food source with the exception of certain fish oils. 5. The energy value of eggs is low, even though eggs are high in food nutrients and hence are of value in a reducing diet. 6. Vitamin B of eggs helps in stimulating the appetite and in promoting good digestion. 7. Fat in the egg yolk is in an emulsified condition and is easily digested and completely absorbed. 8. Vitamin G, found in the egg white, is a protection against some types of nervous disorders.

  • Eggs Structure of an Egg
    Eggs Structure of an Egg Shell: porous and lined with membranes Whites (Albumen): clear liquid surrounding yolk Yolk: round, yellow portion of the egg Air Cell: air pocket, lies between the shell and egg membranes at wide, round end of egg Shell Membrane: helps keep air from leaving egg too soon Nutrients ➔ Protein, Vitamin B12 ◆ Also Vitamin A, other B’s, iron, calcium, phosphorus and trace materials ➔ Eggs have only roughly 80 calories each ➔ Yolk contains more nutrients than egg white, but contains lots of fat and cholesterol and should be used in moderation ➔ Are brown shells more nutritious than white? ◆ Breed of hen determines color. Color isn’t related to egg’s nutrients, flavor, or cooking qualitites How Eggs Are Used ➔ Binder ➔ Thickener ➔ Emulsifier ➔ Nutrients ➔ Leavening Agent ➔ Flavor Buying Eggs ➔ Open carton to inspect before buying ◆ Clean, white, no cracks ➔ Eggs are sold according to grade and size standards set by the USDA ➔ Grades - AA,A, and B ◆ AA & A - thicker, white where appearance is important for fried and poached eggs ◆ B - baked goods, where appearance doesn’t matter ◆ Supermarkets typically don’t carry B Size of Eggs ➔ Once you know the grade you want...you pick the size! ➔ Sold in M, L, XL, and Jumbo! ➔ As a general rule, recipes assume that large eggs will be used. If you use eggs of another size, you may need more or fewer eggs to get the same results Storing Eggs ➔ Raw eggs stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to four weeks ➔ You can refrigerate leftover raw egg yolks, covered, for up to 2 days ➔ A red spot in the egg means that one or more small blood vessels in the yolk ruptured, but the egg is safe to eat.
