Brilio.net - Eggs are one of the food ingredients that many people often stock. Not without reason, this food ingredient can be processed into various delicious and appetizing dishes.
Not just boiled or fried, eggs are also often mixed into cake batter. However, there are some cake recipes that only use the white or yolk of the egg.
Well, separating one part of the egg is certainly not an easy job. Because when the shell is opened, the egg yolk and white can actually mix by themselves.
To get around this, some people use special tools to separate one part of the egg. The tool that is often used is a plastic bottle. To do this, first break the egg on a plate. Then aim and suck the mouth of the used bottle right above the egg yolk . Then the yolk and white of the egg can just be separated.
Well, it turns out there is another way that can be practiced to separate egg yolks and whites. The method was demonstrated by a netizen with the Instagram account name @mvnnialwi. Instead of using a plastic bottle, this woman seems to rely on a kitchen spice to separate egg yolks and whites. Curious about how?

An easy way to choose quality and not rotten chicken eggs.
Choosing quality and not rotten chicken eggs is actually quite easy with the following tips.
1. Check the expiration date.
Be sure to check the egg's expiration date. Eggs that are still within their expiration date are generally still fresh.
2. Pay attention to the egg shell.
Choose eggs with clean, uncracked shells. Cracked egg shells can make it easier for bacteria to enter and damage the eggs.
3. Look at the color of the shell.
Quality eggs usually have a consistent and bright shell color. Avoid eggs with shell colors that are too dull or have conspicuous stains.
4. Hardness test.
You can check the hardness of an egg by rotating the egg on a flat surface. Fresh eggs tend to spin with difficulty because the inside is still solid.
5. Check the smell.
The smell of rotten eggs is usually quite distinctive and can be felt when you examine the egg by smelling it. Fresh eggs will not have an unpleasant odor.
By paying attention to the tips above, you can more easily choose quality and not rotten eggs. Remember that good hygiene and handling are also important to keep the eggs fresh after you bring them home.
