Eggs are normally a healthy food, but when you're allergic to them, it's another story. A person who is allergic to eggs will have a reaction to the proteins found in either the egg whites or egg yolks - or both. In an allergic reaction, the body's immune system sees these proteins as harmful invaders and responds by creating specific antibodies to attack and destroy those proteins. This can cause many allergic reactions such as nausea, diarrhea, headache, hives, wheezing and, if the allergy is acute, anaphylactic shock.

Eggs can be found in many foods and have many different names. It's easy to spot "eggs" on an ingredient list. There are other names for "eggs" that may be on an ingredient list that you need to be aware of. It may take a little more time to read the ingredient list for each food you plan to purchase, but the benefits of taking a few extra minutes outweighs the the risk of an allergic reaction.

If you or your child has an egg allergy or intolerance please avoid the following:

Albumen

Albumin

Apovitellenin

Egg Lysozyme

Egg Whites

Egg Yolks

Globulin

Livetins

Lysozyme

Ovalbumin

Ovamucin

Ovamucoid

Ovoglobulin

Ovotransferrin

Ovovitellin

Ohosvitin

Simplesse

Vitellin

Ingredients that may include eggs, that don't specifically state eggs can be:

Binders

Coagulants

Emulsifiers

EGG SUBSTITUTES (these may include egg whites - should state this on 샌즈카지노 the ingredient list)

Flavorings

Seasonings

White wine (can be washed with egg egg whites)

Root beer (can be washed with egg whites)

Processed meat

Sauces

VACCINATIONS (many vaccinations either contain eggs or are grown in an egg base)

Also read labels for "may be processed on equipment that also processes eggs". You have the possibility of cross-contamination, rather than actual egg ingredients.

If you were to ask ten different cooks what they considered to be the best way to create the perfect hard boiled egg you would likely receive ten different responses. There simply seems to be as many recommended methods of cooking those eggs as there are cooks.

 

My wife recently had to make deviled eggs for a family get together and proceeded to cook 20 eggs. Her immediate goal was to slice the eggs in two and have a total of 40 hard boiled deviled eggs for the family to feast on. Her idea for creating these eggs without having the usual green ring around the yolks was as follows:

 

She started out by placing the eggs in a single layer in a small saucepan. To this she added 3 inches of water to the bottom of the pan and quickly brought it to a rapid boil. As soon as the water begins to boil she quickly covers the pan and removes it from the heat.

 

Now it was time to let the eggs sit for approximately 12 minutes in the pan and hot water. At the end of the waiting period she drained the pan and once again placed the eggs into it. Next she did something very unusual. She refilled the pan with cold water and added some ice cubes to make the water even colder. She then left the eggs to cool for several minutes in the ice cold water.

 

She then run the pot under cold water and peeled the eggs. Each egg came out perfect in every way.

 

One person that I know would always poke a small pin hole in the egg shell to let the air out of the egg. Why do this you may ask? Merely to prevent any craters from being formed on the eggs.

 

New eggs tend to create more problems then the older eggs do. Several of my family members would purchase eggs and not use them for a week in order to create a perfect hard boiled egg. It seems that the older eggs tend to peel much easier then do the newer ones. It has been suggested that one keep raw eggs at room temperatures for at least a day on the kitchen counter before using them. This is the same as letting them age for a week in the refrigerator. An interesting note here is that many of the eggs found in the grocery stores may very likely be several months old and they are still good, useable and peel easily.

 

Washing fresh eggs tends to speed up the aging process a bit as this removes the protective coating that the hens have on the eggs. It permits more air to easily penetrate the shell and therefore hastens the dehydration process. It is this dehydration process which creates a layer of air between the egg and its membrane. In the end it makes the peeling process much simpler.

 

Another popular egg peeling method which I have been told about it to start with a pan of cold water to which a teaspoon of vinegar has been added. The vinegar make s peeling the egg much easier as well as to keep it from cracking as it is boiled. Bring the water to a rapid boil with the lid on the pot. Next turn the stove off and let the pot remain for another 10 minutes. Finally drain the pot under cold water and peel the eggs. You can expect to have some perfect hard boiled eggs each and every time by following these few hints.
