Know the Egg, Know the Man?
An egg-loving character
analyst once claimed that a
man’s personality can be
determined by the way he likes
his eggs.
For instance, scrambled eggs
suit the artistic, nervous and
passionate.
Omelets are preferred by the
sturdy, reliable and con
servative; and sunny-side up are
the choice of the happy, healthy
and wise.

Ladies,

theory or not, you’ll be glad to
know that egg production this
month was at a slightly higher
level than last year The U S
Department of Agriculture’s
Consumer and Marketing Service
says this makes it likely you’ll
find a large at attractive prices at
your food store.
And while we’re on the subject
of egg price, remember that they
vary by size for the same grade.
The amount of price variation
depends on the supply of the
various sizes.
Generally speaking, if there is
less than a 7 cent price spread per
dozen eggs between one size and
the pext smaller size in the same
grade, you will get more for your
money by buying the larger size
When large eggs sell for 60
cents per dozen, that is the
equivalent of 40 cents per pound,
very reasonable for a pound of
high protein food' Egg protein,
by the way, is so near perfection
that scientists often use it as a
standard to measure the value of
protein in other foods
Ever wonder why some hard
cooked eggs are so hard to peel 9
Our character analyst would
have said that’s appropriate,
since lovers of this egg
preparation are persistent,
dynamic, and sincere
But actually the condition is
related to fresh eggs As eggs are
stored, they lose carbon dioxide
and become easier to peel when
hard-cooked. The consumer
should understand that eggs
which will not peel easily when
hard-cooked are freshly laid and
generally of high quality Eggs
that have been stored for several
days will usually peel easily
Sometimes there is a greenish
coating around the yolks of hard
cooked eggs, and consumers
want to know why Usually they
have cooked the eggs at too high a
temperature, or for too long, or
they have not cooled them
rapidly following cooking The
eggs, however, may be eaten
they are still wholesome and
nutritious, and the flavor is
unaffected
A preferred method for hard
cooking is put the eggs on the
range in cold water, bring the
water to a boil, then turn off the
heat, leave the eggs in hot water
for 15 minutes, then cool them
right away in running cold water
Some egg shells may crack
during cooking, but a small hole
punched through the large end of
the shell will prevent this
