Sous-Vide 101: Slow-Cooked Eggs

This is one of the easiest and most impressive applications of a low-temperature water oven like the Sous-Vide Supreme.

That means when cooked to 142°F, egg whites will be barely set but still hold their shape, no matter how long you hold them there (provided you give them enough time to heat through, that is). Similarly, at that temperature, egg yolks will be hot, but completely liquid.

How to Dye Easter Eggs Naturally, Without a Store-Bought Kit

Like most people, I grew up on Paas eggs, glowing with chemical dyes and artificial colors. But my wife followed an Easter tradition of wrapping eggs in onion skins and boiling them. Last year while living in Estonia, we dyed the eggs this way, laying sprigs of dill, bits of rice, and whatever grass or leaves we could find in the yard inside the skins. You can also experiment with easy-to-find foods—like beets, tumeric, and red cabbage—for all-natural dyes.

Egg Watchers Uses YouTube as an Egg Timer

[Image: Egg Watchers] Egg Watchers by creative media company Poke is an online egg timer that will entertain you with an appropriately long YouTube video as your egg cooks. Just choose the size of your egg, whether it's straight from the fridge, and what doneness you want, and you'll get a random entertaining video. (Only warning is that you may not get the most appetizing video: On my first try I ended up Chainsaw Maid, a somewhat gruesome—albeit, cool—claymation of a family being attacked by zombies. When I tried it again, I got a Bjork music video.) [via NOTCOT.ORG] Related The Food Lab: Perfect Boiled Eggs What to Do with Leftover Hard-Boiled Eggs One Dozen Trader Joe's Eggs, Each...
