Truth in the egg

So nature ordered that the birth of babies in birds is delayed or does not occur at all. This lies in the characteristics of breeding. First, an egg appears and only after 2 - 3 weeks a chick hatches from it. Moreover, the female will lay the egg in any case, it does not matter whether the male is nearby or not. This fact has long been used by people, having established the mass production of poultry eggs. At first it was hens, later quail content began in captivity.

Cooking rules

About 10 eggs are taken for the “talkers,” since 1 chicken is approximately equal to 5 quail. The contents of eggs are poured into a bowl, beat well with a whisk with a small amount of salt, gently pour into a preheated pan, greased with vegetable oil. Cooked over medium heat under a lid for about 5 minutes.

A simple fried egg requires a careful opening of the egg. The shell is quite fragile, therefore, when broken, the yolk can be damaged.To keep it intact, you need to carefully puncture the knife with a knife on top and only then remove the cap. The principle of preparation is like in chicken. Children can fry eggs in bagels. You just need to fry it in butter, and then pour the egg into the middle and fry in this form until tender.

To make an omelet, you need some milk, salt and soda on the tip of the knife. The mass is whipped into the foam, soda is added, everything is poured into a pan, which is preheated and thoroughly smeared with sunflower or butter. It is cooked under the lid for 5-6 minutes on low heat. Until ready, do not remove the lid, otherwise the mass will immediately fall off and instead of a magnificent omelet, you will get a flat pancake.
