Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 The yolks are where all the fat is. Take a minute to look at the nutritional info on the egg carton and you'll see how much fat is in one egg and apparently it's all in the yolk. eggs > What is the reason for throwing out the yolks of the eggs?

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 The quicker an egg sinks to the bottom of a bow of water the fresher it is. When it gets older more gases are produced, which make the " air " bubble in the egg bigger, and it floats. But really, eggs are the cheapest protein we eat!!!! A dozen eggs is like a dollar, so if we eat a 5 egg white, 1 yolk omelette, its like 50 cents! I wouldn't hesitate to through out eggs that far past their due date..... -jodi > How long do eggs last?

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Yes we are. It is horrific. I nearly got my chainsaw out the other day because two local billboards were displaying such misleading information. One had the usual bunch of cardboard boxed wheat products with the background of a field of golden corn and the caption 'All the natural goodness of whole wheat " . ASrrrrgh none of the goodness of whole wheat. The other (government information) boldly told everyone to eat 6g of salt a day. That is the maximum you can eat without doing yourself in very quickly the right amount is 0.5g a day and then make sure it is sea salt. However if the government told everybody that they would all stop buying the processed junk in the shops and pop goes the economy. Huuuuuuurrrgh argh. On the egg front I have faith in a couple of the local free range organic producers even if I have to go to the farmers market and look them in the eye.

Does anyone know if this is really safe? I do know I saw special on like a 60 minutes show a few years ago. It showed how stores would pull the eggs off shelves right before expire date and return them. The " egg factory " put them in with the fresh eggs, all mixed up, (because after all they were not going to be out of date until the next day so it was " legal " ---maybe not moral, but " legal " nevertheless.). They said you could be buying eggs that are 6 months old or older.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 , Your eggs are too fresh to boil. To check the freshness of your eggs, place the egg into a deep dish of cold water (at least three times as deep as the egg) a.. If the egg lies flat - it's too fresh and the egg will stick to the shell b.. If it sits pointy end up - it's ready to cook and will peal easily c.. If it floats, throw it out - it's too old!

Now you have two halves, you can take a spoon and scoop the egg out of each half. When you do this, hold the egg over the bowl or slice of toast, as the yolk will break and run out sometimes. Just lay one half on the plate as you scoop the other half out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Your boiled egg should age several weeks beforehand for easier peeling. You might check out something called an eggstractor for removing shell. Alvin <goerwitz@...> wrote: Do you have any secrets for easily getting the shell off the soft boiled eggs?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I am really curious here. Do people really peel the soft boiled eggs? I've always just split them in two and scooped out the egg. I would think it would be an awful task to try to peel them. Yes, I peel hard boiled eggs.......but soft boiled ones?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I don't have any experience with it but I wouldn't test it's usefulness with 3 and 5 year olds.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I just put one in an egg cup, cut off a little bit of the top shell and eat it directly out of the remaining shell. If you poke a hole in the air end of the egg before you boil it it helps keep it from cracking open while it cooks. --- toffeejacket <toffeejacket@...> wrote: > I am really curious here.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Amen to that! I have a 5 mo. old who I'd like to start on egg yolk instead of that horrible rice cereal trash. Any suggestions on how to separate the yolk from the white (in NT it says to keep the membrane in tact but it's almost impossible because the yolk isn't even close to being solid in 3-1/2 min). HELP! TIA, Tifanie S. p.s. any other suggestions for baby's first foods I would really appreciate. I made all my own baby food for my first including the rice cereal but I'm trying to be more NT with this one since I now know more.

HELP! Tifanie, I either fry them sunny side up - i.e., low to med. fire and when the whites start to get a little solid, I put a little bit of water in the pan and then cover them. Keeping the yolks runny of course. Or I soft boil them. Either way, I try to scoop out some of the soft yolk (a little at a time and trying to keep the runny white out of it) and feed it to my babe.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Alvin, we buy Promised Acres eggs from our store, they just started selling them not long ago and now appear to have changed their mind as the price sticker info has been removed and they haven't had any in my last two visits (grrrr....). I wonder if this may be due to availablitiy in the winter as you mentioned? I sure hope so because I really loved getting those eggs and especially now that I know where some of them come from. :-) -Laurie >Message: 8 > Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2006 11:21:16 -0800 (PST) > From: Alvin Schlangen <mnorganiceggs@...> >Subject: Re: Another Twist in the Egg Debate > > I package eggs for the Larry Schultz and Promised Acres labels. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 From you post time data- you're east of us here in Minnesota. I'd recommend for anyone in the country to use the resouces of localharvest.org where you're able to search for farms, farmers markets, food coops, etc by zip code or by state and alos by food item. Very clever. For example- our farm is http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M6695 Good Health, Alvin jeannekrieg@... wrote: I am looking for 6 dozen eggs. Anyone have any sources?
