Gekookte eier: When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.

Vars eiers: If you aren’t sure how fresh your eggs are, place them in about four inches of water. Eggs that stay on the bottom are fresh. If only one end tips up, the egg is less fresh and should be used soon. If it floats, it’s past the fresh stage

Sprinkle a little flour in the pan before adding oil when you fry eggs and they will not stick

Replace the egg for brushing the tops of pastry with custard powder mixed in milk or water

‘n Handige KITCHEN TIP:
As jy volgende keer ‘n eier oopbreek en ‘n stukkie eierdop val in die eierwit/geel in, maak net jou vingers nat met water….. en haal dan die stukkie eierdop uit.
Probeer dit gerus, dit werk !!!!
