Tips and Tricks
- As an egg ages, the white becomes thinner, the yolk becomes flatter and the yolk membrane becomes weaker, making it more likely to break. These changes don’t affect the egg nutritionally or functionally but the freshness of an egg does affect its appearance and sometimes taste.
- You can actually microwave eggs. But you have to make sure that ALL of the shell is gone, so that it cant overheat and explode.
