Tip of the Day

Eggs will be fresh for much longer time if they are stored when their pointed end is downwards. To check whether an egg is fresh, shake the egg and listen – if you hear the yolk moving, the egg isn’t fresh. If you don’t – the egg is fresh. Don’t cook eggs in their eggshell in the microwave since such cooking will cause the eggs to explode. Hard-boiled egg will be easier to peel if after you cook them you wash them in cold water.
