Egg is one of the simplest yet complex ingredients in culinary world. A good source of protein
can be served as main dish, appetizer, dessert and an important ingredient to many mouth-watering
dishes. In the previous lesson you have learned the parts of egg, market forms, nutritive value, uses and
functions of egg in food preparation, tools used in preparing egg dishes, preparing and cooking egg
dishes and tips on how to present egg dishes attractively .
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 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
9. With the fork, fold the sides of the omelet over the
center.
10. Grasp the handle of the pan and tilt omelet into the
plate so it inverts and keeps an oval shape.
Storage is done to maintain the quality of food, prolong the shelf-life, maintain an adequate
supply of food and ensure its safety for consumption.
Proper storage of food is very crucial in keeping food safe because the manner and temperature
of storage will affect the food’s susceptibility to bacterial growth, other contaminants and infestation.
Storing food will not improve its quality, it will only delay the rate of deterioration. Thus, the proper
period of storage should also be observed.
Eggs should be stored properly to prevent increase in alkalinity and bacterial growth. They
should be stored in an oval, dry place to retard deterioration as enzymatic activity is greater at room
temperature.
Keeping eggs as fresh as possible depends on the care taken by the farmer, wholesaler and
grocer to refrigerate them at all times. After you have chosen your eggs by size, grade, freshness, and
type, proper storage will help maintain their quality.
Kind of Storage
Cold Storage (refrigerated storage, deep chilling, freezer storage) keeping potentially hazardous
foods cold enough to prevent bacteria from growing.
The temperature of the freezer compartment must be at 0°F or less, and the eggs should be
stored in an area of the freezer where there is the least amount of temperature fluctuation.
Dry Storage should be dry, cool, well-ventilated, free from insects and rodents, clean and
orderly.
In the absence of refrigerators, eggs may be stored at room temperature for about seven days.
Left-over egg yolks and egg whites should be kept in containers that will prevent drying.
Keep eggs away from strong odors. These can be absorbed through the shells which are porous.
Whole eggs can be beaten slightly and placed in a container with a tight seal and stored in the
freezer for up to one year.
Egg whites also can be stored for up to a year in a tightly sealed container in the freezer.
When storing egg yolks in the freezer, a small amount of sugar or salt should be added to
prevent the yolks from becoming too thick and gelatinous over time.
Add a pinch of salt per yolk if the yolks will be used for savory dishes, or add about a ¼ teaspoon
of sugar per yolk if these will be used for sweet dishes.
Do not wash eggs before storing them. This destroys the mineral-oil film that coats the shells
and helps keep them fresh.
Dip the eggs in oil to cover the pores and to delay its deteriorative changes, reduce mold
penetration and retard spoilage.
Do not keep eggs longer than 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Left-over raw yolks can be refrigerated for several days when covered with water, milk or oil.
Two yolks can be used in place of 1 whole egg in a recipe.
Left-over raw whites can be stored in a tightly covered plastic or glass container in the
refrigerator for several days or as long as they do not have any odor. They can also be frozen
although when thawed the white is thinner. However, you can use them successfully in recipes
calling for egg whites.
How to Store Eggs
Refrigerated: Refrigerated eggs will stay good for about a month. How can you test whether your eggs
are still good? Place an egg in a full glass of water. If the egg lies flat on the bottom, it is fresh. If it stands
up, it’s on its way to bad. And if your egg floats, toss it.
Room Temperature: It’s okay to store eggs at room temperature depending on production method. In
America, eggs are power washed before selling. This removes the natural coating that protects the eggs
from nasty bacteria, so we must keep our eggs below 40 degrees F to ward off potential foodbourne
pathogens. Some countries (like most European countries) choose to leave this layer on, so if you go
abroad and panic because the eggs are all sitting out, it’s okay!
Frozen: Egg whites tolerate freezing well, though the yolks do not. Separate the whites from the yolk
and place in an ice cube tray to freeze
A. Directions: Write True if the statement is correct and False if it is incorrect.
Write your answer in the space provided.
3. When storing egg yolks in the freezer, a small amount of sugar or salt should
be added to prevent the yolks from becoming too thick and thin over time.
____

____
5. In the absence of refrigerator, eggs may be stored at room temperature for
____ about two weeks.
10. Grasp the handle of the pan and tilt the omelet into
the plate so it inverts and keeps an ____shape.
