How do you like your eggs? Poached? Over easy? In an omelet? The Good Housekeeping Research Institute serves up new egg-cooking tools that can help in our Good Housekeeping Report.
You can cook egg-septional egg dishes with the foolproof gadgets that aced good housekeeping's tests, including this nordic ware microwave egg boiler.
Nordic Ware Microwave egg boiler is a good choice. It costs $10.50. Food Director, Susan Westmoreland says, "People are really worried about hard-cooked eggs, especially because you can get that green ring and it doesn't look pretty if you're going to do something with the eggs. So this is basically, will cook four eggs. It's got a water fill line. It takes one and a half cups of water. Then you just fit this little thing in the top and you can load in up to four eggs. You don't have to pierce them or anything. This will not burst eggs in the microwave like you've heard. And you just put the cover on and you put it in the microwave."
The Lamson & Goodnow Hotspot egg poachers did well for poached eggs. "These lamson and goodnow silicone egg poacher cups come in a set of two and in our tests, they did perfect little poached eggs. Basically just crack it in and lay it into the pan and boil it. What happens is, after five minutes you get a perfect little package that you can slip right on to a piece of toast or on top of canadian bacon to make a beautiful eggs benedict," says Westmoreland. For a set of 2 it costs $8.75.
Nordic Ware 8 Inch skillet provided the perfect omelet. It costs $35.50. "This is a great omelet pan because it has a stay cool handle, nice sloping sides and the nonstick finish makes it really easy to get the omelet in and out of the pan," says Westmoreland.
And Good Housekeeping says there's no difference in flavor or nutrition between white eggs and brown eggs. The color just tells you the breed of the hen.
