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.
