Photo of the Day: 300 Minute Egg

Leave an egg in an oven at 220°F for 300 minutes (5 hours) and voila: you get what looks like a brown, hard boiled egg.. Is it tasty? According to François-Xavier, yes—the long baking gives the egg white a nutty flavor.... More

Photo of the Day: Pre-Poached Eggs

La Petite Americaine came across a shocking item at her local Parisian supermarket: pre-poached eggs. Because there just isn't enough time to leave an egg in a pot of simmering water for three minutes these days. Of course, she couldn't get away with being in the presence of poached eggs-in-a-box without actually trying them. So she did, with questionable results.... More

An Egg Within an Egg

If you cook with bell peppers, you've probably cut one open at some time and have seen the phenomenon of the pepper within a pepper. But an egg within an egg is a little more freaky and rare. It was the first Sydney University poultry science professor Tom Scott had seen in his 30-year career.

Next is the seemingly extraneous "EGGS" sign above the door in case the awning doesn't give enough information. And if you think the store is only about selling eggs, you're wrong—it also sells paper bags, provisions, and drinks. I'm tempted to visit just to see how egg-tastic this egg depot really is. ...Or so I can take a picture in front of the gate fashioned in such a way so that the egg looks like... More

Egg Ads Deemed Harmful for Brits

It's been 50 years since the British Egg Marketing Board promoted their unfertilized product by telling the public to "go to work on an egg". While its series of advertisements about the benefits of eggs was deemed appropriate in the 1950s, on Tuesday the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre (BACC) banned the ads from being shown on TV because the ads do not promote a varied diet. Here's more explanation behind the ban from Guardian Limited: A BACC spokesman said the issue was not whether a daily egg with your breakfast would be harmful; only that it should be served with fruit juice or toast."We are not questioning the effect it would have on your health," Kristoffer Hammer told GMTV...
