A GOOD EGG

An egg, is an egg? Right?

Not so if you are starting to get serious about cooking. Great tasting dishes depend on great tasting ingredients, and the egg is not one to get looked over.

When shopping for eggs, take the time to open each carton and inspect the eggs. Are they kept in a refrigerated compartment? Do they all look uniformly white with out any thin spots on the shell or cracks? Pick up each egg; do the all come out of the carton easily?

Once you have found your perfect dozen eggs, don’t stop caring for them when you get home. Place them in the refrigerator immediately with the large end up. Eggs should be used within 1 week of purchase, although you can keep them for up to 5 weeks if refrigerated properly.

Can’t decide if you should be healthy and buy brown eggs? Take your pick. It has not been prove that there is any additional nutritional value between a white egg and a brown egg.
