To Cook Eggs Properly.

People often say: "Oh.. just cook
me an egg; that is the easiest but
an egg is just as difficult to cook
properly as roast or steak. True,
the. preparing of meats is a more
elaborate process and takes longer,
but it is well-known fact that very
few things are easy" to do If they
are dore properly. In other words.
you cannot fix an egg In a careless,
haphazard fashion any more than
anything else, and just because 1t is
simply even when most care is taxi
en- is the very, reason that there il
no excuse for doing other than we'll.
For instance, says the Philadelphia
Press. most people will soft-boil an
egg by dropping it into boiling water
for about three minutes. but a mo-
ment's thought will assure anyone
that If an egg Is dropped into boil
ing water, the outer edge OF The
white part must INSTANTLY harden,
and thus keep the heat from acting
evenly throughout the whole egg.
So, If instead, it is put into the cold
or luke-warm water and this then
brought to boil and left for I hree
minutes, there will be no danger OF
the inside being still soft and walery.
In fact, most people seem 10 prefer
to have the egg boiled about four
minutes. thus insuring fair con-
nistency: the watery, soft-boi ed egg
being desired only for inyalids.
In frying an egg, the same thing Is
true in principle: here. though, IL Is
necessary to put the egg into the
very hot pan to get solid coating on
the bottom. The pan. should then be
moved to a cooler part of the stove
where it will not 60 so fast. and
with knife make little openings In
the firm bottom to allow. the soft up
per layer of the white to run through.
AS soon as ali the while becomes
Opaque, put cover over he pan. and
let 1t cook slowly until the white is
we'll concealed. In this way the egg
when finished does not have that
raw taste or gelatine-like look that
so many people dislike.
In scrambling eggs. put little
milk and pinch Of salt into ihe
bowl in which the eggs are first 70
he beaten. The milk lends 10 light
en- them but still they should he
beaten 10 froth and then noured
into a moderately hot pan. With
fork, gently stir the mass. lifting the
hardening parts. and allowing the
liquid to reach the bottDnl Of the
pan, so that IL gets perfect: heat ed.
II this stirring and lifting is not done
violently. the eggs will be delight

, For an onIelet. the whites and
yollls should be beaten separately.
