Store Eggs Pointed End Down In covered Container Away from Heat and light WHY? Keeping eggs in the main body of the fridge (not on the door) keeps them at a more constant, colder temperature. Keeping eggs in their original cartons protects them from taking on any off-odors from any strong-smelling goods in the fridge (eg. onions, strong cheeses or meats). Keeping eggs pointed end down protects the yolk from touching the end.
Egg Cookery Principles Use Low Temperature for best tenderness and palatability Use Gentle Heat Do not let any fat or yolk mix with white while beating whites. Cook thoroughly WHY?
