Eggs are an indispensable ingredient in our daily diet, rich in high-quality protein, fat, vitamins and minerals and other nutrients to meet the body's nutritional needs. Whether boiled, scrambled, steamed or fried, eggs can show their unique flavor and texture, which will make people have an endless aftertaste. How do you keep the eggs you buy home? I believe that most friends just put it in the refrigerator for preservation. Although the low temperature of the refrigerator can prolong the storage time of eggs, there will be some chicken feces and other impurities and bacteria on the surface of the eggs, and storing it in the refrigerator will also cause contamination to other foods in the refrigerator. In fact, there is no need to put eggs in the refrigerator at all, and when there was no refrigerator before, the older generation of people would not be bad if they saved up eggs for the New Year and the holidays. Today, I'm going to share with you a few tips for preserving eggs, let's take a look!
First of all, let's understand the reason why eggs spoil. There are many small pores on the surface of the egg, and over time, the protective film on the surface of the egg gradually wears away or disappears, allowing bacteria to enter the inside of the egg through these pores. Eggs are rich in organic substances, inorganic substances and vitamins, which provide an ideal environment for microorganisms to grow. At the right temperature and humidity, these harmful substances will grow and multiply rapidly when they enter the inside of the egg, which will lead to the deterioration of the egg. Knowing the reasons for the spoilage of eggs, we can preserve eggs in the following ways.
1: Rice constant temperature preservation method.
Rice is our daily staple food, I believe that many friends will have rice at home, in fact, rice can also be used to preserve eggs. The method is very simple, there will inevitably be some dirt on the surface of the egg, before preservation, we can wipe the egg with a paper towel to wipe the dirt on the surface. Then bury the eggs in the rice and use the rice to completely submerge the eggs. Rice is very dry, and it has always been a constant temperature state, we put the eggs in this dry and constant temperature environment, you can keep the eggs for a long time without spoiling.
Also, when we bury the eggs in the rice, remember to put the big end of the egg up and the small head down. Because in the bulk of the egg it has an air chamber, which is essential for the life support of the egg. It ensures that the egg can breathe and prevents the yolk from floating, thus keeping the egg fresh and nutritious. However, if we do not pay attention to the placement of eggs, such as by placing the eggs with their small heads facing up or lying them flat, the air chambers may be at risk of becoming blocked. Once the air chamber is blocked, the freshness of the eggs will be greatly reduced, and their shelf life will be shortened.
Two: Tea leaves keep dry.
I believe that many friends will have tea at home, in fact, tea can also be used to preserve eggs. Let's prepare a piece of toilet paper, spread it flat on the table, then grab a handful of tea leaves on a paper towel, and then wrap the tea leaves with a paper towel.
Once wrapped, we'll put it directly in the eggs. The sponge tissue of tea is very developed, when it is fresh, the moisture content of tea is very high, and after it is made into tea, although the water has evaporated, the pores on the surface still exist, and it is easy to absorb water and gas. So we put the tea leaves and eggs together, and the tea leaves will absorb the moisture in the air and keep the environment dry. If the eggs are kept in a dry environment, they can be stored for a longer time and are not so easy to spoil.
Three: edible oil isolation method.
We first prepare a bowl, pour a small half bowl of cooking oil into the bowl, and then put the eggs that need to be preserved one by one in the cooking oil and roll them around, so that the surface of the eggs is evenly stained with cooking oil. When the egg is coated with cooking oil, it is equivalent to a protective film on the surface, so that some bacteria and microorganisms from the outside world cannot enter the inside of the egg, and the egg can be stored for a longer time.
After wrapping the eggs in cooking oil, we put them in the egg tray with their heads up and their heads down, and then put them in a cool place at home, so that the eggs can be kept for a long time without deterioration, the method is simple and effective.
