Eggs don’t get enough credit. The little guys are one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen. They feature in cakes, custards, crumbed chicken, and sauces… and don’t forget just whipping yourself up an omelette or plate of scrambled eggs when you need a quick late-night dinner. These little hacks will make it even easier to get the most outta your eggs.
Get Baked
If a recipe calls for several hard-boiled eggs, you are probably going to need a large pot to cook them all. Or… you can just pop them into the oven. Preheat the oven to 325°F and bake the eggs in a muffin tin for 22-27 minutes, depending on how hard you’d like them to be. Once done, transfer them into an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes.
Get Chopped
Egg salad, whether on its own or on a sandwich, is a classic. But it does involve a lot of chopping. Except, you can actually squish the eggs through a wire rack and have them chopped in no time.
Get Yolked
That’s not the only way to utilize a wire rack. Even the most seasoned of bakers can have a hard time separating egg yolks from their whites. Instead of juggling about, place a wire rack over a bowl and crack the eggs over it. The white should run through the rack while the yellows stay whole above.
