Old eggs float in fresh cold water because of a large air cell that forms as the egg cools after being laid. As the egg ages, air enters the egg and the air cell becomes larger and this acts as a buoyancy aid.<BR/><BR/>Generally, fresh eggs will lie on the bottom of the bowl of water. Eggs that tilt so that the large end is up are older, and eggs that float are rotten. The tilting is caused by air pockets in the eggs that increase in size over time as fluid evaporates through the porous shell and oxygen and gases filter in. The older an egg gets the more gas builds up inside it. More gas = more floating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861967395213955449.post-5447117162458742692008-06-03T13:02:00.000-07:002008-06-03T13:02:00.000-07:00Zoom – Really?

The fresher the egg the more noticeable it is –maybe you’ve been eating old eggs all your life?<BR/><BR/>Robin – Thanks. I knew I could count on the WLCRT. I’ll expect your report no later than tomorrow morning.<BR/><BR/>Hunter – Ah, the age old conundrum. If you’re a creationist, of course the chicken came first. If you’re an evolutionist then I suppose it must be the egg – a mutant egg or series of mutant eggs laid by some pre-chicken type of creature. But perhaps we should check with the eggsperts.<BR/><BR/>Violet – The French are also very particular about how they cook their eggs. Making an omelette or scrambled eggs is quite a production if you do it correctly, so that you end up with eggs at their optimum flavour, texture and visual appeal. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Dani – Hi! Thanks and I hope you enjoyed your eggs.<BR/><BR/>Scarlet- How could you suggest wine doesn’t go with eggs? Blasphemy. There is nothing that can’t be enhanced with the right wine, including most egg dishes. Maybe a greasy fry-up from a truck stop would be the exception.<BR/><BR/>Dave – Ya, das schmeckt!<BR/><BR/>JB – You’re such a yolker.<BR/><BR/>Jazz – Does the method of preparation matter? I can see fried eggs or eggs mixed with dairy wouldn’t be too B friendly.<BR/><BR/>Alison – You’re welcome. I still have to disguise eggs for my kiddo. Pancakes, waffles, French toast and sometimes she can be persuaded to eat an omelette if I put a lot of stuff in it for her – onions, pepper, veggie sausage – and she drowns it in ketchup and lots of toast handy as a chaser.XUPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753840302040062406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861967395213955449.post-91658130762438297342008-06-03T10:32:00.000-07:002008-06-03T10:32:00.000-07:00Mmmmm, eggs.

Well, we're all eating more cheese and I'm eating more eggs, seeing as my girls seem to have inherited their father's dislike of eggs. But Leah does like French toast, so at least she's getting some eggy goodness.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipe!alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483907412532940799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861967395213955449.post-37121001029249112622008-06-03T06:39:00.000-07:002008-06-03T06:39:00.000-07:00I love eggs.

She had a 10 part series of "How To Cook" books that was televised. Turns out very few people actually knew how to boil an egg and needed a tv show to help them along.
