Cooking Eggs
To safely cook eggs, follow these tips from the American Dietetic Association:
-
When you scramble eggs, cook them until you can't see any liquid.
-
When you poach or fry eggs, cook them until the white has completely set and the yolk begins to thicken.
-
When you hard-cook eggs, both the white and yolk should be set.
-
For stirred custards, cook until they are 160 degrees F and coat a spoon.
-
For baked custards, a knife slicing through near the center should come out clean.
