It's no yolk - Eggs = eggsellent value

Advantages: Cheap, fast, nutritious food
Disadvantages: None!!

...for one of the timings below: *3 minutes for very soft yolk and set white *4 minutes for slightly set yolk and set white *5 minutes for firmer yolk and white *6 minutes for hard boiled with lightly soft yolk *7 minutes for firmly hard boiled for the likes of salads etc Give the egg another stir then remove the egg from the pan and transfer to into an egg cup immediately. To stop the egg from cracking, make a small pin prick in the shell at the rounded end - this allows the the steam to escape stopping the shell from cracking - never put eggs straight from the fridge to boil as this does cause cracking too. Scrambled eggs are my favourite - so long as they are not overdone and resemble a greying mass on my plate, they are also one of the quickest and easiest ways of cooking eggs. To make them in a healthy way use...

Review of Eggs

Which came first, the chicken or the egg ?

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Eggs are amazing - who would have thought that something that comes out of a chickens bum would be so tasty and so versatile in the kitchen ? In fact, I often wonder who the first person was to actually EAT an egg, and why they did it. In Britain, we eat nearly 10 billion eggs a year; that's 26 million every day, so they're clearly a favourite food here! Chicken eggs are the most commonly eaten eggs in the uk , although there are many more edible eggs - duck, goose, quail and ostrich to name a few. Generally speaking though, most of us stick to the chicken eggs found in the supermarket - and generally fall into three categories - Battery or Caged eggs, Barn Eggs, or Free Range eggs . I'll briefly explain the categories for those who may now know them . Battery/Caged ------------------- Battery/Caged eggs are produced by chickens kept...

Review of Eggs

Egg on your face

Advantages: Easy to cook and occasionally tasty
Disadvantages: Death, doom, gloom and smelly farts

...without having to peel the shell off at the end. You swirl your boiling water round and drop an egg into the middle. Some people prefer to wrap the innards of the egg in cling film (line a cup with cling film, crack the egg into it, tie the top, walla, egg in a bag) before boiling as it saves on cleaning. Scrambled, also known in my house as "failed omelette" is by far the easiest method of cooking ever and the tastiest I know. Normally I melt a rather large chunk of butter, the best food group, in a pan. Whisk a few eggs round in a jug then throw them into the melted butter, stirring constantly till its nice and cooked. There is only one downside of scrambled eggs?let me explain. My dog likes rug munching and, as nutritious as a big hunk of mums new Ikea rug is, it doesn't sit well in her stomach, resulting in little piles of dog barf lovingly...

Review of Eggs

To Egg or not to Egg?

Advantages: Good customer service, Discount Rewards
Disadvantages: Discounts change and other cards have better rewards

...INTRO I first decided to get an Egg Credit Card to take advantage of a 0% Interest Balance Transfer (BT) about 2-3 years ago. This was so that I could buy a £1,000 laptop (Samsung Q35). The interest free period was only 6 months but that's all I needed to pay off the balance. I think the BT fee was about 2.5% back then. It's a bit higher now, circa 3% in line with other credit card providers. They also have a 0% on purchases offer on the same card, at the same time alongside the balance transfer offer but this is usually shorter than the balance transfer so if you use both and you don't clear the balance before the end of the 0% interest on purchases period, you end up paying interest on the purchases spending unless you clear the entire balance as this is a sneaky tactic that most BT cards use. ACCOUNT OPENING Opening...

Advantages: customer service is great, upto date balances are available 24 hours a day, easy access
Disadvantages: none

...I have been a customer with Egg now for nearly a year and the service I have received from Egg has been worldclass from day 1. Egg is an internet bank where all your accounts are view and managed by you over the net. Egg is like any other bank and offers all types of accounts from credit cards, to loans and savings. The account opening is easy and you can apply online through their website at www.egg.com. You just select the account you want and apply for that account. Egg offer 24 hour banking and long hours of customer service. The waiting time is short and all operators are very helpful and friendly. The only thing I can complain about was an operator yesturday told me I was over my agreed limit on my card and said my balance was minus. When I checked my account on the website this means I am in credit on my credit...

Chicken & Leek in a Cup

Advantages: a quick snack
Disadvantages: none

...For the past few days I have been unwell with a migraine headache so I haven`t really wanted to eat much food. As I had skipped breakfast yesterday morning and my stomach was complaining I decided to have a cup a soup. Chicken and Leek Cup a Soup There are 5 sackets of soup inside a cardboard box, the box is blue and orange in colour and there is a picure of the soup in a mug. You can also see a picture of chicken, leek and onions, on top of the box you will find the best before date and opening the box is very easy. It says on the box that there are no artifical colours or flavourings, that the soup is low in fat and sugar. On the back of the box are simple instructions on how to make the soup, each sachet contains a powder, just open the sachet and pour into a cup. Then add the hot water and give a very good stir...

Review of Batchelors Cup a Soup

The alternative cup

Advantages: It might just happen this way
Disadvantages: Most unlikely

...All I hear is "ENGLAND, ENGLAND" wherever I go at the mo. "We're gonna win the cup". Right, ok. In your little pretend world, maybe but for the realists, getting out of the group will be an achievement. So for those of you that want to go along the "Mickey Mouse" England World Cup Winners Route, here is the real Mickey Mouse results. Group A France, Senegal, Uruguay, Denmark. The opening game sees France entertaining the upstart Senegal Team. Knowing that the Senegalese team will be a pushover, the French decide to field a select 11 and rest their main players for later rounds of the world cup. This means They are going with a 4-4-2 formation with Jean Paul Gaultier and Antoine from Eurotrash as the main strike force. Fabien Barthez even misses the game and lets Lovelable Resistance Fighter Rene Artois from Allo Allo to take...

Review of The Cup

Grobag Egg - Keeping a close eye on the temperature.

Advantages: Great device, funky lights, looks good in a nursery.
Disadvantages: None.

...The Grobag Egg is a night light that is designed to keep a close monitor on the temperature in your child's bedroom or nursery and it is easy to see because it lights up and this also means that you can peer in to your children's room without having to disturb their sleep or alert them to your presence. The device is egg shaped with a permanent back lit LCD readout and the actual temperature is display so you can be aware of whether the temperature is just a little too high or too cold and adjust things accordingly to ensure that your baby is kept warm at all times. The ideal temperature is 16-20 degrees and the temperature colour gauges are listed below: Cold - Blue - Under 16 degrees Ideal - Yellow - 16-20 degrees Warm - Orange - 20-24 degrees Hot - Red - Over 24 degrees I think that this is a fantastic safety feature...

Review of Grobag Egg

Eggs Are They All They're Cracked Up To Be?

Advantages: Full of protein and vitamins and low in calories.
Disadvantages: Battery hens suffer more than any of us can even imagine.

...I think eggs have had an amazing history because like so many pure and healthy things they have been tarred with the brush of the media, and to a certain extent to the various studies which have over the years pronounced their attributes (more recently) and their faults. So a brief tour of the politics of it all. In the 1950s all was going smoothly and we had the "go to work on an egg campaign" for those too young to remember this series of adverts really got eggs to the forefront of peoples' minds. Certainly I can remember seeing my little egg perched on his bright yellow cup ready for my breakfast with his little soldiers, thin strips of buttered bread to dunk into that bright yellow yolk. Who can forget Edwina Currie who left her role as junior health minister in 1988 after she made the comment that most of the egg...
