What is It

Market Forms of Egg

There are three market forms of eggs namely: fresh, dried (whole, egg whites/egg
yolks), and frozen (whole, egg whites/egg yolks).

4
1. Fresh Eggs or shell eggs may be purchased individually, by dozen or in trays of
36 pieces.
2. Frozen Eggs – are made of high quality
fresh eggs. They come in the form of whole
eggs with extra yolks and whites. Frozen
eggs are pasteurized and must be thawed
before use.

3. Dried Eggs – are seldom used. Their whites

are used for preparing meringue. Dried
eggs are used primarily as ingredients in
food industry. They are not commonly sold
directly to consumers.

Eggs are also sold in several processed forms: bulk or fluid whole eggs (which
sometimes includes a percentage of extra yolks to obtain a specific blend), egg
whites, and egg yolks. Pasteurized eggs are used in preparations such as salad
dressings, eggnog, or desserts, where the traditional recipe may have indicated that
the eggs should be raw. These products generally are available in liquid or frozen
form. Frozen egg products on the other hand are used as ingredients by food
processors. Products containing egg yolk usually have salt, sugar or corn syrup
added to prevent gelation or increased viscosity during freezing. They are packed in
30lB.containers and in 4-, 5-, 8-, and 10-lB.pouches or waxed or plastic cartons.

Dried powdered eggs are also sold and may be useful for some baked goods or
in certain circumstances. For food service use, they are generally sold in 6-oz.
pouches, and 3-lB.and 25-lB.poly packs.

Egg substitutes may be entirely egg-free or may be produced from egg whites,
with dairy or vegetable products substituted by yolks. These substitutes are
important for people with reduced-cholesterol diet requirement.

Uses of Eggs in culinary

Egg is cooked in many ways. It can be the main protein dish; it can be a main
or accessory ingredient in dishes from appetizers to desserts. It can be cooked by
dry heat, moist heat, with or without oil, as simply or as elaborately as one‘s
inclination for the moment. Indeed, it can be eaten anywhere.
Effect of Heat on Eggs

1. Coagulation of proteins: white at 60-65 ºC, yolk at 65-70ºC.

Beyond this temperature, over coagulation occurs and water is squeezed out
causing shrinkage resulting in a tough product.

3. Formation of greenish discoloration at the interface of the yolk and white when
egg is overcooked

Due to the reaction between the iron in the yolk and the hydrogen sulfide liberated
from the sulfur containing ferrous sulfide.

Reaction is favored by

5
- High cooking temperature
- Prolonged cooking

Reaction is prevented by immediate cooling of the egg (e.g. immersing in cold water)
after cooking

Uses of Egg
1. and served ― “as is”, e.g.

in the shell – soft cooked ( 5 minutes simmering) or hard cooked (15 minutes
simmering)

poached – cooked in simmering water; addition of salt and vinegar hastens

coagulation
fried – keep low to moderate temperature
scrambled – addition of sugar delays coagulation; addition of liquids and acids
decreases coagulation point

2. Eggs as emulsifier

*Lecithin and lysolecithin are responsible for the remarkable ability of egg yolk to
act as an emulsifying agent; both are phosphoproteins containing polar and non-
polar ends such that the polar end holds water while the non-polar end holds the
fat, thus, prevent oil droplets in suspension from coalescing.

4. As binding, thickening agent, and gelling agents

*Eggs are useful as binding, thickening and gelling agents because they contain
proteins that are easily denatured by heat.

*Using whole egg requires lower coagulation temperatures resulting in a stiffer gel

*Addition of sugar, raises coagulation temperature producing softer, weaker gel

*Softer gel is produced with the addition of scalded milk and acid

*In cooking custards, Bain Marie, double boiler or steamer is used to avoid boiling
which can produce a porous custard

*Soft custards are produced by constant stirring.

5. As foam

*When egg is beaten albumen is denatured, air is incorporated as white is

stretched into thin films

*With continued beating, the air cells are subdivided and volume is increased

*Protein network dries up and stabilizes the gas or air foams

6
 *If only egg whites are used, the color turns white and soft peaks are formed. The
egg proteins collect at the air/liquid interface of the air bubble and undergo
surface denaturation.

*If whole eggs or only egg yolks are used, the color becomes pale yellow with
continued beating; volume is increased (but not as much as when only whites are
used); no surface denaturation occurs.

*With further beating of egg whites, liquid drains out, air bubbles coalesce and
foam breaks.

*The same changes occur when the foam is allowed to stand too long.

*Maximum stability is reached at soft stage while maximum volume attained is at

stiff stage

Stages in foam formation

A. frothy – large air bubbles that flow easily
B. soft foam – air cells are smaller and more numerous; foam becomes whiter;
soft peaks are formed when beater is lifted
C. stiff foam – peaks hold their shape; when bowl is tipped, it holds, moist and
glossy
D. dry – moistness and glossiness disappear; specks of egg white are seen

Factors to be considered in foam formation (leavening agent)

A. Beating time and temperature: as the time of beating increases, both volume and
stability of the foam increases initially, then, decreases; white can be
beaten/whipped more readily at room.
B. Temperature than at refrigerator temperature – refrigerated eggs are more
viscous, thus, hard to beat/whip.

C.Eggs beaten at room temperature whip better resulting in bigger volume and finer
texture.

D.Whole eggs or egg yolk require more beating to produce a good foam

E.Stored eggs foam faster but produce smaller volume than fresh eggs.

F.Acids (e.g. cream of tartar, 1 t per cup) increase the stability of foams, but when
added too early, delay foam formation (reduced volume) thus, increases the time
necessary for beating

G.Sugar also increases the stability of foams but delays foams formation (reduced
volume), thus, it should be added after foaming has started and soft peaks are
formed; sugar retards the denaturation of egg white

H.Addition of soda increases stability and volume

I. Addition of salt lowers quality of the foam i. Type of egg: duck eggs do not foam
well because they lack ovumucin

7
J.Dilution of egg white by water produces bigger volume but lesser foam; this
produces more tender cakes, but in meringues, syneresis occurs.

K.Applications of foam in cookery

* as leavening e.g. in angel cake, sponge cake, chiffon cakes

* as meringue, e.g.

(a)soft meringue for topping of cream, chocolate, or lemon pie, requires a proportion
of two tablespoons sugar per egg white

(b)hard meringue for confections, base of fruit pies or Sans Rival Cake, requires a
proportion of ¼ cup sugar per egg white

*structural and textural agent – tenderness and fluffiness to products, e.g. fluffy or
foamy, soufflé, divinity, foam cakes, popovers

As coloring and flavoring agent

Egg Products

1. Balut from duck eggs

2. Pidan eggs
3. Century eggs
4. Pickled eggs

Eggs may be cooked in a lot of ways:

Egg Dishes

Eggs cooked in a shell

Hard and soft-cooked eggs are cooked this way. Eggs should only be simmered
and not boiled to prevent over coagulation which would cause the eggs to be tough.
The optimum cooking time for eggs in shells is 20 to 25 minutes. To avoid cracking
of the eggs during cooking, refrigerated eggs should be warmed at ambient
temperature before cooking. Before boiling, water at room temperature should be
used.

Sometimes yolks of eggs may become greenish during cooking. This color is
due to the formation of iron sulfide. Darkening often occurs in eggs wherein the pH
of the albumen is high. It may also be a result of cooking too long at very high
temperature.

To avoid this, fresh eggs should always be used. Eggs should be cooked within
a minimum period and cooled immediately in running water after cooking.

Culinary Uses:

*Eggs as a thickening agent and binder

When used as a binder or thickener, the hydrophilic colloids of yolks and
whites, due to the presence of proteins are converted into a hydrophobic colloid thus
turning it into a gel.

8
 At high temperature, the gel toughens. This explains why the white becomes
an opaque mass when cooked at a temperature of 62ºC. For egg yolk, coagulation
starts at 65ºC.

*Eggs as leavening agent Baked products such as sponge cakes, chiffon cakes,
meringues, and soufflés make use of eggs as leavened resulting in a light, airy
texture. This is explained by the incorporation of air during the beating of eggs. Foam
is formed when the albumen surrounds a colloidal system of air bubbles. When
beating egg whites, overbeating must be avoided as this tends to stretch the albumen
and would result in a dry, watery appearance.

Why do you need to eat eggs?

Eggs may be considered as "functional foods". Functional foods are foods

that may have health benefits beyond their traditional nutritional value. Eggs as
functional foods contain lutein and zeaxanthin that reduce the risk of cataracts and
macular degeneration. Eggs may also belong to "designer foods". Designer foods are
foods that have been modified through biotechnology to enhance their quality or
nutritional value. Eggs as designer foods contain omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty
acids and vitamin E. So learn now and explore the various egg dishes below.

Variety of Egg Dishes

Cooking Eggs in the Shell

Although the term boiled may appear in the name, eggs prepared in the
shell should actually be cooked at a bare simmer for best results. Eggs are cooked
in the shell to make hard- and soft-cooked and coddled eggs. They may be served
directly in the shell or they may be shelled and used to make another preparation,
such as deviled eggs, or as a garnish for salads or vegetable dishes.

Select a pot deep enough for the eggs to be submerged in water. Have on
hand a slotted spoon, skimmer, or spider to remove eggs from the water once they
are cooked.

Fried Eggs
Fried eggs call for perfectly fresh eggs, the correct heat level, an appropriate
amount of cooking fat, and a deft hand. Fried eggs may be served sunny side up (not
turned) or over (turned once). Fried eggs may be basted with fat as they fry. Using
very fresh eggs is the only way to ensure a rich flavor and good appearance of the
finished dish.

Standard Qualities of Fried Eggs

1. White should be shiny, uniformly set, and tender, not browned, blistered or crisp
at edges.

2. Yolk should be set properly according to desired doneness. Sunny side-up yolks
should be yellow and well rounded. In other styles, the yolk is covered with a thin
layer of coagulated white.

9
3. Relatively compact, standing high. Not spread out and thin.

4. A fried egg should have a yolk covered with a thin film of coagulated egg white
and still remain slightly fluid.

5. The egg white should be opaque, firm and tender, not chewy, crisp or brown.

6. A perfectly fried egg is a glory to behold – crispy edges and a wobbly, pinkish yolk.

7. It will provide a fried egg with a slightly crispy, frilly edge; the white will be set
and the yolk soft and runny.

Types of Fried Eggs

1. Sunny side up

Cook slowly without flipping until white is completely

set but yolk is still soft and yellow. Heat must be low
or bottom will toughen or burn before top is completely set.

2. Basted
Do not flip.
Add a few drops of water to pan and cover to steam cook the
top. A thin film of coagulated white will cover the yolk
which should remain liquid.

3. Over easy Fry and flip over.

Cook just until the white is just set but the yolk is still liquid.

4. Over medium Fry and flip over.

Cook until the yolk is partially set.

5. Over hard Fry and flip over.

Cook until the yolk is completely set.

Fried Eggs

Tools/Equipment Needed:
Sauté pan (preferably non-stick)
Dish, turner

Ingredients Needed:
Fresh egg
Oil or clarified or whole butter, as needed for frying
Salt, as needed
Ground black pepper, as needed

Procedure:
1. Select very fresh grade AA eggs for best results.
2. Break the eggs into a dish.
3. Add about 1/8 inch fat to the sauté pan and set it to a moderate heat. Too
much fat will make the eggs greasy. Less fat will cause them to stick, unless a
pan with the nonstick coating is used.
4. When the fat is hot enough, slide the egg into the pan.
5. Tilt the pan, allowing the fat to collect at the side of the pan, and baste the
eggs with the fat as they cook.
6. Season the eggs with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs can be made in two ways: the eggs can be stirred constantly
over low heat for a soft delicate curd and a creamy texture, or stirred less frequently
as they cook for a larger curd and a firm texture. Whether prepared to order or to
serve on a buffet line, scrambled eggs must be served hot, fresh and moist.
Choose eggs that are fresh, with intact shells. Adding a small amount of water
or stock (about 2tsp/10ml per egg) to the beaten eggs will make them puffier as the
water turns to steam. Milk or cream may be used to enrich the eggs. Scrambled eggs
can be seasoned with salt and pepper, and/or flavored or garnished with fresh herbs,
cheese, sautéed vegetables, smoked fish, or truffles.
Eggs can be scrambled in a sauté pan or on a griddle. Nonstick surfaces make
it easy to prepare scrambled eggs with a minimum amount of added fat. Pans used
for eggs should be reserved for that use only, if possible. A table fork, wooden spoon,
or spatula is needed for stirring the eggs in cooking.
Do not overcook scrambled eggs or hold them too long. Overcooked eggs are
tough and watery and will turn green in steam table. Scrambled eggs should be soft
and moist.
For flavor variations, the following ingredients may be added to scrambled eggs
before serving.
Chopped parsley or other herbs
Grated cheese
Diced ham
Crumbled bacon
Sautéed diced onions and green bell pepper
Diced smoked salmon
Sliced cooked breakfast sausage

A good scrambled egg must not be tough nor burned but completely
coagulated.

Poached Eggs

Poached eggs are prepared by slipping shelled eggs into barely simmering
water and gently cooking until the egg holds its shape. The fresher the egg, the more
centered the yolk, the less likely the white is spread and become ragged.
Poached eggs can be prepared in advance and held safely throughout a typical
service period to make the workload easier during service. Slightly under poach the
eggs, shock them in ice water to arrest the cooking process, trim them, and hold
them in cold water. At the time of service, reheat the eggs in simmering water.
Eggs are most often poached in water, though other liquids, such as red wine,
stock, or cream, can also be used. Add vinegar and salt to the water to encourage
the egg protein to set faster. Otherwise, the egg whites can spread too much before
they coagulate.

Standard Qualities of Poached Eggs and Cooked Eggs in the Shell

What I Have Learned

To sum it up, below are important points one should remember to be able to perform
the job discussed in this lesson:

1. There are three market forms of eggs namely: fresh, dried (whole, egg whites/egg
yolks), and frozen (whole, egg whites/egg yolks).

15
2. Eggs are also sold in several processed forms: bulk or fluid whole eggs (which
sometimes includes a percentage of extra yolks to obtain a specific blend), egg
whites, and egg yolks.

3. Pasteurized eggs are used in preparations such as salad dressings, eggnog, or

desserts, where the traditional recipe may have indicated that the eggs should be
raw.

4. Eggs may be considered as "functional foods". Functional foods are foods that
may have health benefits beyond their traditional nutritional value.
5. Eggs should only be simmered and not boiled to prevent over coagulation which
would cause the eggs to be tough.
6. Lecithin and lysolecithin are responsible for the remarkable ability of egg yolk to
act as an emulsifying agent; both are phosphoproteins containing polar and non-
polar ends such that the polar end holds water while the non-polar end holds the
fat, thus, prevent oil droplets in suspension from coalescing.

7. Eggs are useful as binding, thickening and gelling agents because they contain
proteins that are easily denatured by heat.

Omelets
The rolled, or French-style, omelets start out like scrambled eggs, but when
the eggs start to set, they are rolled over. A folded or American style, omelet is
prepared in much the same manner, though it is often cooked on a griddle rather
than in a pan, and instead of being rolled, the American omelet is folded in half.
There are two other styles of omelets, both based upon a beaten mixture of eggs,
cooked either over direct heat or in an oven.
Choose eggs that are fresh, with intact shells. As with scrambled eggs, the
ability of the egg to hold its shape is irrelevant, but fresh eggs are preferable. Omelets
can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs. Clarified butter or oil is the most
common cooking fat.
Omelets may be filled or garnished with cheese, sautéed vegetables or
potatoes, meats, and smoked fish, among other things. These fillings and garnishes
are incorporated at the appropriate point to be certain they are fully cooked and hot
when the eggs have been cooked. Grated or crumbled cheeses will melt sufficiently
from the heat of the eggs, and are often added just before an omelet is rolled or
folded.

Two Factors for Making Quality Omelets

1. High Heat. This is an opposite to the basic principle of low temperature egg
cookery. The omelet cooks so fast that its internal temperature never has time to
get too high.
2. A conditioned omelet pan. The pan must have sloping sides and be of the right
size so the omelet can be shaped properly. It must be well seasoned or
conditioned to avoid sticking.

Suggested Omelet Fillings

Cheese Sautéed or creamed Creamed or curried

mushrooms chicken

Creamed or Sautéed onions and

Sautéed onions with
buttered spinach diced potatoes
or without bacon

Plain Rolled Omelet
Tools/Equipment Needed:
Small bowls
Sauté pan
Fork
Ingredients Needed:
30 eggs
1tbsp/15g salt
1tsp/2g ground pepper
5fl oz. /150 ml water, stock, milk, or cream (optional)
2 ½ fl.oz. /175 ml, as needed clarified butter or oil

Procedure
1. Prepare equipment and food items.
2. For each portion, beat 3 eggs well and season with salt and pepper. Add the liquid,
if using.
3. Heat a nonstick omelet pan over high heat and add the butter or oil, tilting the
pan to coat the entire surface.
4. Pour the entire egg mixture into the pan and scramble it with the back of the fork
or wooden spoon.
5. Move the pan and the utensil at the same time until the egg mixture has
coagulated slightly. Smooth the eggs into an even layer.
6. Let the egg mixture finish cooking without stirring.
7. Tilt the pan and slide a fork or a spoon around the lip of the pan, under the
omelet, to be sure it is not sticking. Slide the omelet to the front of the pan and
use a fork or a wooden spoon to fold it inside to the center.
8. Turn the pan upside down, rolling the omelet onto the plate. The finished omelet
should be oval shaped.

Notes:
Options for filling an omelet:
A pre-cooked filling may be added to the eggs after they have been smoothed
into an even layer and before the omelet is rolled. Alternatively, the rolled omelet can
be slit open at the top, and a precooked filling can be spooned into the pocket. To
give the omelet, additional sheen, rub the surface lightly with butter.
A perfect omelet is fluffy, moist and tender, soft in the center, yellow in color
with no brown at all or just a hint of it, oval in shape, and all in one continuous
piece
