white squiggly stuff in eggs - Page 4

Quiteria · 06-14-2012, 08:43 PM

Professional cooks do it for things like flourless cake, to get a perfect consistency without a little white lump somewhere.

I imagine that most home cooks probably don't care. It kind of blends in for scrambled and fried eggs.

And I've never actually seen it in muffins and such, though it might be visible if you inspected carefully.

Flourless cakes, at least the one I've made use a ton of eggs. I guess once you get to a dozen or so of those squiggly things in your cake people will start to notice

I meant most home cooks probably don't care because most of the time, they're making scrambled eggs, muffins, etc. as their normal everyday menu, instead of flourless cakes. But when they do make something that special, worthy of hunting down the professional way to do it, then you take out the squiggly stuff.

...mental picture of beautiful satiny chocolate with a dozen or so white blobs...

I'd have never thought of that; it's so far off my radar.

I didn't realize people took them out, and I don't think I have ever come across one in my mouth. Now I'm going to be paranoid when I make scrambled eggs next. And you notice them in BAKING too? Wild.

What I do take out is I have had streaks of blood (I assume, it was streaks of red goo) a couple of times. Enough to stand out in my mind, but not common enough that it always happens. I picked it all out and braved eating the eggs anyway. :/

I never do. I've noticed them in our own chicken's eggs, but I'm usually working too quickly to really notice them. I've NEVER heard anyone noticing them in cooked eggs/ baked goods.
