If you want to save your egg yolks after separating, preserve them by putting them in a small bowl and add two tablespoons of SPAR Sunflower Oil. Cover and refrigerate. The yolks will remain soft and fresh.

After beating egg whites do not tap the beater on the bowl. It causes the egg whites to lose a lot of their fluffiness.

Eggs will beat up fluffier if they are at room temperature before beating.  This makes lighter meringues and better sponge cakes.

To determine whether an egg is fresh or not - Fresh shells are rough and chalky whereas older eggshells are smooth and shiny. To be sure take the egg and place it into a bowl or cup of water – fresh eggs will sink to the bottom but eggs that are starting to spoil will float. This is because when the contents of the egg spoils and begins to breakdown it produces gas – the trapped gas causes the egg to float.

To test whether an egg is hard-boiled, spin it. If it spins, it is hard-boiled; if it wobbles and will not spin it is raw. (Next time write the date or at least put an X on the eggs you Hard Boil)

Cut hard boiled eggs with a knife dipped in water first and the yolk won’t break.

Egg whites won't run while boiling or poaching if you'll add a little SPAR white vinegar to the water.  Remember to make sure you use fresh eggs.

Egg shells can be easily removed from hard-boiled eggs if they are quickly rinsed in cold water first.  It also helps to put a little SPAR White Spirit Vinegar in the water you boil them in.

A fun way to separate eggs. Use an empty SPAR water bottle.  Squeeze out a little air.  Place it over a cracked egg and voila just the yolk is sucked up intact.
