Gadgets: HotSpot Eggshell Silicone Egg Poacher
As much as I love a classic Eggs Benedict, I can't help but blame the dish for pigeonholing one of my favorite foods--the poached egg. For addicts like myself, they're not only brunch's star attraction, they're also the perfect topping for most any pasta dish, sandwich, or green vegetable. That said, it's pretty essential to be able to achieve a perfectly runny yolk whenever the craving hits. After years of sometimes-success with the traditional vortex method (where boiling water and white vinegar are swirled into a vortex that keeps the egg together), I decided it was time to put some poaching cups to the test. What I happily discovered was that when you find a good set of poachers,...Market Scene: Brookline Farmers Market in Brookline, Mass.
Note: Each week, one of our various Market Scene correspondents from around the country checks in with what's fresh at the farmstands in a particular region. Today, Penny Cherubino (Boston Zest) drops by from Boston. The Brookline Farmers Market has been a part of the Coolidge Corner shopping experience for thirty-one years. It's a place of full-flavor shopping with produce, cheese, eggs, ice cream, bakery, specialty foods, beef, turkey, pork, lamb, and fish vendors.

Clear Flour always appears in any list of the best bakeries in the Boston area....Dumbest Allergy Warning Ever
Saw this on Reddit just a bit ago. The eggs at Tesco in Ireland come complete with a label that reads "Allergy Advice: Contains egg." Well, NSS. My guess? I reckon that if it's not explicitly required by Irish law, this warning is the product of an overzealous legal department CYAing like nobody's business....Freezing Eggs
Emilie of Freeze Happy, a blog devoted to freeze-friendly ingredients and recipes, enlightens us about freezing eggs. It's a handy option if: you bought too many and they're about to expire, you want to save the whites or the yolks after a recipe, or you don't live near a grocery store. If you've decided you're not weirded out by freezing eggs, just crack them open, beat them up, and store them in a muffin tin. The little egg-sicles can be defrosted in the fridge. Note: Do not freeze them in their shells. Although, I feel like the third grade boy in everyone kind of wants to know what would happen.

An egg fried in the center of a piece of bread. It's a simple preparation that elevates the union of eggs and toast, two beautiful things, to a whole new level. What do you call it?Quote of the Morning: 'Why Add Water to Eggs?'
"I could never understand why people add water to their eggs. I generally add 2% milk or higher percentage milkfat, or even sour cream. But the water makes no sense to me. I had watered-down eggs in the Navy and to me they were tasteless. Can anyone explain why this is done, besides 'That's how the French do it'?" —LunaPierCook...Fried Egg Light

Everyone has "the best" approach to poaching an egg, just like every region has the best barbecue sauce and every Jewish mother has the best matzoh ball soup recipe. There's a lot of conflicting information out there. Is a splash of vinegar necessary? Should you crack the eggs in a separate cup first? The Kitchn seems to have found the truth to perfectly runny yolks and firm whites. The method comes from Delia Smith's Complete How to Cook. The UK food personality recommends pouring hot water from a kettle into a large, shallow pan and heating it until little bubbles start to form. Then break the eggs one by one into the water and let them barely simmer for...Snapshots from the UK: British Blue Eggs
Easter is not long behind us, and I only have one comment on the matter: there is a reason why dying and dyeing sound exactly the same. All I ever get for my troubles are stained fingers and cracked shells. If the Easter Bunny is so magical, why can’t he just make a line of pastel-perfect eggs appear in the supermarket? As it turns out, in the UK, he does. Or rather, Clarence Court delivers a happy rainbow of colorful eggs to the Sainsbury’s down the road. Not only did Britain get Cadbury Creme Eggs first, but now British blue eggs. We are used to hens laying eggs in just two colors: white, and brown. Chic, perhaps, but also...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
