What’s In
What’s New
What is It
2. Frozen Eggs- are made of high grade raw eggs. They come in the form of
whole eggs with extra yolks and whites. Frozen eggs are pasteurized and
defrost before use.
3. Dried Eggs- This market form of egg is seldom used. Their whites are used
or preparing frosting. It is used primarily as ingredients in food industry and
are not usually sold directly to consumers.
Eggs are also in several processed forms: volume or fluid whole eggs
(which sometimes involve a percentage of extra yolks to obtain a particular
mixture), egg whites and egg yolks. Pasteurized (heated to destroy certain
organisms) eggs are used in preparations such as salad dressings, eggnog,
or desserts, where the regular recipe may have recommended that eggs
should be raw. These products normally are available in liquid or frozen form.
Products containing egg yolk usually have salt, sugar or corn syrup added to
stop gelation or increased viscosity (stickiness) during freezing.
Dried powdered eggs are also sold and may be useful for some baked goods
or in certain things. For food service use, they are usually sold in 6 oz.
pouches, and 3-B, and 25-LB poly packs.
Egg replacement may be entirely egg-free or may be manufactured from egg
whites, with dairy vegetable products substituted by yolks. The replacement is
important for people with reduced-cholesterol diets.
2. Eggs as emulsifier
● Lecithin and lysolecithin are responsible for exceptional ability of
egg yolk to act as emulsifying agent; both are phosphoproteins
containing polar and non- polar ends such as that the polar end
holds water while the nonpolar end holds the fat, thus, prevent oil
droplets in suspension from merging.
4. As foam
● When egg is beaten albumen is reversed, air is absorbed as white
is stretched into thin films
● With continued beating, the air cells are subdivided and volume is
increased.
● Protein network dries up and balances the gas or air foams
- If only egg whites are used, the color turns white and soft peaks
are formed. The egg proteins collect at the air/liquid interface of
the air bubble and undergo surface alteration
- If whole eggs or only egg yolks are used, the color becomes
pale yellow with continued beating; volume is increased (but not
as much as when only whites are used); no surface alteration
occurs.
- With further beating of egg whites, liquid drains out, air bubbles
merge and foam breaks.
- The same changes occur when the foam is allowed to stand too
long.
- Maximum stability is reached at soft stage while maximum
volume is achieved at stiff stage.
- Stage in foam formation
a. frothy – large air bubbles that flow easily
b. soft foam – air cells are smaller and more numerous;
foam becomes whiter; soft peaks are formed when beater
is lifted
c. stiff foam – peaks hold their shape; when bowl is tipped,
it holds, moist and glossy
d. dry – moistness and glossiness disappear; dots of egg
white are seen.
● Factors to be considered in foam formation
- Beating time and temperature; as the time of beating increases,
both volume and stability of the foam increases initially, then
decreases; white can be beaten/whipped more readily at room
temperature than at refrigerator temperature-refrigerated eggs
are gummier, thus, hard to beat/whip.
- Eggs beaten at room temperature whip better resulting in bigger
volume and finer texture.
- Whole eggs or egg yolk require more beating to produce a good
foam
- Stored eggs foam faster but produce similar volume than fresh
egg.
- Acids (e.g. cream of tartar, 1 t per cup) increase the stability of
foams, but when added too early, delay foam formation
(reduced volume) thus, increases the time necessary for
beating.
- Sugar also increases the stability of foams but delays foams
formation (reduced volume), thus, it should be added after
foaming has started and soft peaks are formed; sugar slow
down the alteration of egg white
- Addition of soda increases stability and volume
Addition of salt lowers quality of the foam
-
Type of egg: duck eggs do not foam well because they lack
-
ovomucin
- Mixture of egg white by water produces bigger volume but lesser
foam; this produces more tender cakes, but in frosting,
separation of liquid from a gel occurs.
- Applications of foam in cookery
● as expander e.g. in angel cake, sponge cake, chiffon cakes
● as frosting, e.g.
a. soft frosting for topping of cream, chocolate, or lemon
pie, requires a proportion of two tablespoons sugar
per egg white
b. hard frosting for confections, base, fruit pies or Sans
Rival Cake, require a proportion of ¼ cup sugar per
egg white
● structural and textural agent – tenderness and fluffiness to
products, e.g. fluffy or foamy, soufflé, divinity, foam, cakes
popovers.
5. As a colouring and flavouring agent.
Egg Products
1. Balut from duck eggs
2. Pidan eggs (alkalized eggs)
3. Century eggs (eggs that has been preserved for a 100 years)
4. Pickled eggs

What’s In
After learning the market form of eggs and its uses, the
next to consider will be the variety of egg dishes. The
learners are now ready to cook some basic egg recipe.
What’s New
What is It
Poached Eggs
Poached eggs are prepared by slipping shelled eggs into barely
simmering water and gently cooking until the egg holds its shape. The fresher
the egg, the more centered the yolk, the less likely the white is spread and
become ragged.
Poached eggs can be prepared in advance and held safely throughout a
typical service period to make the workload easier during service. Slightly
under poach the eggs, shock them in ice water to arrest the cooking process,
trim them, and hold them in cold water. At the time of service, reheat the eggs
in simmering water.
Eggs are most often poached in water, though other liquids, such as red
wine, stock, or cream, can also be used. Add vinegar and salt to the water to
encourage the egg protein to set faster. Otherwise, the egg whites can spread
too much before they coagulate.
Standard Qualities of Poached Eggs and Cooked Eggs in the Shell
1. Bright, shiny appearance
2. Compact, round shore, not spread or flattened
3. Firm but tender whites
4. Warm, liquid yolks
Poached Eggs
Makes 10 servings
Tools/Equipment Needed:
Saucepan
Skimmer
Ingredients Needed:
1 gal/3.84L water
1tbsp/15g
salt 1 floz. /30ml distilled white vinegar
20 eggs
Procedure:
1. Prepare tools, equipment and food items. Be sure that eggs are chilled
until ready to poach.
2. Combine the water, salt and vinegar, in a deep pan and bring it to a
bare simmer.
3. Break each egg into a clean cup, and then slide the egg carefully into
the poaching water.
4. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set and opaque.
5. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, blot them on
absorbent towelling, and trim the edges if desired.
4. A fried egg should have a yolk covered with a thin film of coagulated egg
white still remain and slightly fluid.
6. The egg white should be opaque, firm and tender, not chewy, crisp or
brown.
3. Over easy – Fry and flip over. Cook just until the
white is just set but the yolk is still liquid.
4. Over medium – Fry and flip over. Cook until the yolk
is partially set.
5. Over hard – Fry and flip over. Cook until the yolk is
completely set.
Fried Eggs
Tools/Equipment Needed:
Sauté pan (preferably non-stick)
Dish, turner
Ingredients Needed:
Fresh egg Oil or clarified or whole butter, as needed for frying
Salt, as needed
Ground black pepper, as needed
Procedure:
1. Select very fresh grade AA eggs for best results.
2. Break the eggs into a dish.
3. Add about 1/8inch fat to the sauté pan and set it to a moderate heat. Too
much fat will make the egg greasy.
4. When the fat is hot enough, slide the egg into the pan.
5. Tilt the pan, allowing the fat to collect at the side of the pan, and baste the
eggs with the fat as they cook.
6. Season the eggs with salt and pepper and serve at once.
1. Break each egg into a clean cup, and then slide the egg carefully into
the poaching water.
2. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, blot them on
absorbent towelling, and trimmed the edges if desired.
3. Prepare tools, equipment and food items. Be sure that eggs are chilled
until ready to poach.
4. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set and opaque.
5. Combine the water, salt and vinegar, in a deep pan and bring it to a
bare simmer.
What I Can Do
Summary
Egg is cooked in many techniques. It can be the key protein dish; it can be a
key or additional ingredient in dishes from appetizers to desserts. It can be
cooked by dry heat, moist heat, with or without oil, as simply or as detailed as
one’s inclination for an instant. In reality it can be eaten anywhere.
