Cooking eggs

[ZacK]

I think should suffice to get the normal ones you can get at cold storage or dept stores.


Think these are the Teflon coated ones... Do note however that there are articles linking cancer with the use of non-stick pans in general. I've extracted some info from this http://www.cancer.ca/canada-wide/prevention/specific%20environmental%20contaminants/teflon%20and%20non-stick%20cookware/tips%20to%20reduce%20your%20exposure%20to%20teflon-related%20substances.aspx?sc_lang=en:

What you can do about Teflon-related substances: tips to reduce your exposure
Health Canada, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration do not advise against using cookware with non-stick coatings or other products with PTFE. They advise that non-stick cookware needs to be used properly.

Using non-stick cookware can help you reduce the amount of butter or oil in your diet, which is good for your health.

However, it is important to remember:

- Do not use non-stick cookware at high temperatures. Health Canada recommends a maximum temperature of 350 degrees Celsius or 650 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Do not use non-stick cookware for broiling or other high temperature baking and cooking.
- Remember that temperature settings vary between appliances. For example, olive oil typically begins to smoke at 210 degrees Celsius (410 degrees Farenheit), which is below Health Canada’s recommended maximum temperature for using non-stick coatings.

Anyone heard of egg poacher? It seems that it produce nice quality eggs cooked like McDonalds. Apparently use less oil and use heat from steam.


Alternatively, what I do is to grill it in my oven as Egg Toast. Meaning, Place bread (thicker, like those at Breadtalk). Cut to cheese size and dent it, place a slice of cheese, crack an egg and grill it. Add some seasoning and even bits of bacon or ham if you like.

Yummy!

Hiya

Wow, found someone who do eggs the same way I do mine. :celebrate:

I do mine with wholemeal/multigrain bread, COON cheese (can get from NTUC), egg, a crack of black pepper and a few grains of salt. YUMMY....

ok, allow me to digress. Maybe we should have a cooking thread. :lol:


I just want to poll parents out there - how many times could the oil in a deep fryer be re-used ?

I was searching around for a non-stick pan and boy, was I surprised that such a simple thing can take so much time. I thought I got it when I read about the GreenPan..until I read this http://dannyseo.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/10/green-pan-updat.html


I am sick and tired of searching, can any moms recommend ?

You can go to OG, CK Tangs. Tefel, small one is so cute and handy. A must in the family. You can fry anything when you need in small quantity.
15cm or so in diameter.

It would be great for xchange of cooking ideas and tips.
About re-using oil in deep fryer, if u had just use it for frying some fries that leaves no residue, 1 more time within a couple of days. If u had fried meat or flour-coated item, no re-use. Dats just my habit. Now i will only use it when doing a party where need to fry up a whole load of stuff.

I went to Taka and spoke to an \"experienced\" salesman. He told me that the teflon coated pans are good (Tefal has 5 layers. Meyer has 3 etc), but they must be handled with extreme care. Besides the risk of being scratched, the pan has to be thinly coated with oil while in storage and after cooking, quickly pour hot water to get rid of burnt stains etc.

Besides the coated ones, there are the anodized or fused type. These could last longer because the teflon is not coated. To be honest, I was pretty confused since I am not the home econs type. Since I am engineer by training, I decided to buy both the anodized and the coated types to try out. Will let you people know after 6 months my experiences.

best not to re-use oil. the oil becomes cancer causing when \"recycled\".

Do you know that there are 100 methods of cooking eggs but only 6 are widely known?


The chef hat has 100 folds and it actually represent the no. of methods in cooking eggs.

Hehe!
