BAKING EGGS:
Bake “hard-boiled” eggs:
Celebrity chef Alton Brown’s secret to making perfect hard-boiled eggs is to bake them in the oven on a moist kitchen towel. Place the damp kitchen towel on the oven rack and place your eggs on top of it. Bake at 320 degrees for 30 minutes.
Bake eggs in a muffin pan:
If you’re planning to freeze a bunch of breakfast sandwiches all at once, you can make perfectly-sized eggs in a muffin pan. Crack the eggs into the pre-greased tin and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. You can then take them out and they’ll perfectly fit English muffins.
COOKING EGGS:
Use milk with scrambled eggs, water with omelets:
Using milk, half-and-half, or even cream will make scrambled eggs richer, tastier, and fluffier. With omelets, chefs advise using a little bit of water with the eggs to make the dish lighter, but not too rich. Two eggs plus two tablespoons of water is the best ratio.
Use an onion or pepper for perfectly circular eggs:
A healthy hack for making your egg perfectly round is to cook it inside an onion ring or a pepper ring. Simple slice a 1/2-inch ring from your onion or pepper and crack the egg into it inside the pan.
POACHING EGGS:
Pour vinegar in the water:
Pouring a little bit of vinegar into your simmering water will help your eggs stay together better, which is integral when you’re poaching eggs.
Poach an egg in the microwave:
Fill a small bowl with a cup of water and add some salt. Crack the egg into the bowl, making sure it’s fully submerged, and then cover with a plate before microwaving on high for a minute.
