Study Notes
Preparing Egg Dishes
- Eggs consist of approximately 9.5% shell, 63% albumen (egg white), and 27.5% yolk.
- Egg composition includes water (75%), proteins (12%), lipids (12%), carbohydrates, and minerals.
Components of an Egg
- Shell: Serves as protection, accounting for 9-12% of total egg weight.
- Air Cell: A space formed as the egg cools, located between the egg white and shell.
- Albumen/Egg White: Makes up about 67% of the egg's liquid weight, supports the yolk.
- Chalaza: Gelatinous strands that keep the yolk centered; not an imperfection.
- Germinal Disc: Small depression on yolk surface, entry point for fertilization.
- Membranes: Two layers inside the shell protect the yolk.
- Yolk: Rich in nutrients, provides food for embryonic growth; consists of 33% of liquid weight.
Nutritional Value of a Whole Egg
- Provides 72 calories, with 6.3g protein and 4.8g total fat.
- Yolk contains significant cholesterol (184mg) and vitamins A (245 IU) and D (37 IU).
- Egg white (albumen) contributes 3.6g protein, minimal calories, and fat.
Kitchen Tools for Preparing Eggs
- Channel Knife: Garnishing tasks.
- Colander: Drains liquid from vegetables and fruits.
- Offset Spatula: Turns and lifts eggs.
- Pastry Brush: Applies eggs or glaze on pastries.
- Rubber Spatula: Scrapes contents and folds mixtures.
- Sieve: Strains dry ingredients.
- Wire Whisk: Blends and whips eggs or batter.
Essential Kitchen Instruments
- Egg Poacher: For poaching eggs; features small containers.
- Omelette Pan: Cast iron or copper pan with sloped sides for making omelettes.
- Measuring Cups/Spoons: Quantifies ingredients.
- Saucepan: Used for cooking sauces and other liquids.
Cleaning and Sanitizing Procedures
- Clean kitchen tools in a logical order, avoiding harmful mixtures of cleaning agents.
- Manual dishwashing involves:
- Scratch and Pre-Rinse: Loosens debris.
- Wash: Use warm water (110°F to 120°F) with detergent.
- Rinse: Remove detergent with clean warm water.
- Sanitize: Submerge in hot water (170°F) for 30 seconds.
- Drain and Air-Dry: Avoid towel drying to prevent contamination.
Egg Quality Assessment
- Quality is divided into shell quality (surface) and interior quality (functional).
- Egg grading classifies eggs based on both exterior and interior attributes.
- Size is influenced by hen's diet, breed, age, and environmental factors. Underfed hens produce smaller eggs.
Ware Washing
- Manual Ware Washing includes systematic steps to ensure hygiene:
- Scratch, wash, rinse, sanitize, air-dry.
- Mechanical Dishwashing follows similar steps, utilizing machines for efficiency.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding the anatomy and nutritional value of eggs is crucial for preparing various egg dishes.
- Proper cleaning and sanitizing techniques ensure food safety in egg preparation.
- Familiarity with kitchen tools and equipment enhances cooking efficiency and effectiveness.
