Vraag 8
Don’t egg me on! It could be the answer to the prayers of people who, quite literally, cannot boil an egg. Or for students struggling with the most basic of culinary tasks. Revolutionary “self-timing” eggs designed to overcome the problem of how to avoid runny whites and overcooked yolks will appear on supermarket shelves in the coming months. The eggs are marked with logos in “thermochromic” invisible ink, which turns dark when it reaches a certain temperature. Inks have been created to appear after three minutes to indicate a soft-boiled egg, after four minutes for medium and after seven minutes for a hard-boiled egg. The project was launched by the quality assurance scheme Lion Quality Eggs in response to thousands of people asking how to boil eggs properly. Gilly Beaumont, of B&H Colour Change, which developed the logos, said: “We are still perfecting the technology, but we are very excited at the prospect of sorting a problem that has wound people up at breakfast for decades.” |
