Re: eggs - how to bring them to room temperature quickly

eggs

Hey guys...I am so extremely tired today and can't remember if I've already

sent this email. I don't have internet at work to check online either. So

please forgive me if I just asked this today!

For mayo...room temp eggs. How long do they need to be out of the fridge to

be room temp? And how long can they safely stay on the counter before being

bad? I took 3 out when I got home yesterday at 5:30pm (about). I didn't

know how long it would take and then got really tired so didn't make it.

They're still there. Will they be ok tonight to use for mayo???

Thanks,

Kris

==================

Kris,

When I need room temperature eggs, I pour very hot water (it can be tap

water) over them (they are still in the shell ;-) and then let them soak in

hot water in a bowl. This doesn't cook the eggs, but it does bring up their

temperature quickly. It takes 5 to 10 minutes.

I find this technique is also very useful right before cooking the eggs

sunnyside up or scrambled. They tend to stick to the frying pan when they

are cold, but not when they're room temperature.

Nenah,

I wish you would have sent this before I scrambled eggs for lunch. I

didn't know this and appreciate the handy tip. Scrubbing eggs off the

pan is not my favorite activity. Thanks.
