Eggs are an excellent ingredient, and many families will always keep them. Many people are confused about how to store eggs at home:
I heard that eggs cannot be stored horizontally? Can’t the fresh eggs taken out of the refrigerator be refrigerated again?
In fact, there are really no taboos for egg storage!
Eggs can be placed sideways
The view that eggs cannot be placed horizontally says:
· Eggs have been stored for a long time, especially when the outside temperature is high, the protein mucus will slowly lose part of its water under the action of protease, and lose its role in fixing the yolk.
· Lay the egg horizontally, because the specific gravity of the yolk is smaller than that of the egg white, the yolk will float up, get close to the shell, and become a sticky shell egg.
In fact, it is the egg belt that fixes the yolk in the egg, and loss of water does not make it lose its function of fixing the yolk. And because of the limitation of the egg belt, the floating range of the egg yolk is not large.
Some scholars have really studied the effect of the position of the egg on the position of the yolk. The result is that laying the egg horizontally is most conducive to keeping the yolk in the middle.
But I’m not suggesting that we all put our eggs sideways, because it takes up a lot of space and is not convenient.
If you want to stand up, little head up is better.
Fresh eggs from the refrigerator
You can put it back
Some people say that fresh eggs taken out of the refrigerator cannot be refrigerated again.
He also explained that after the egg is taken out, it will sweat at room temperature, and the bacteria and microorganisms in the water droplets will quickly penetrate the egg shell and penetrate into the inner layer of the egg liquid. The egg is no longer in good quality and should be eaten up immediately.
In fact, the fresh-keeping temperature of a general refrigerator is about 4 °C. Unless the air is very humid, the eggs that are taken out generally do not sweat, that is, a layer of water droplets appear on the egg shell.
Even if a small amount of water droplets appear, the water vapor in the air is condensed, and there will not be more bacteria.
Moreover, most of the eggs on the market are generally not cleaned, and the protective film remains on the surface of the eggshell. The little water condensed by sweating is not enough to destroy this protective film.
You should eat the eggs as soon as possible from the refrigerator. That’s right. If you don’t want to eat them, there is nothing wrong with putting them back. Just put them if you want.
As an ordinary high-quality ingredient, eggs are not so delicate and there are not so many taboos. Why don’t you think about how you want to eat eggs today, whether they are boiled, fried, or steamed custard…
