What do you know about eggs? A quiz

Originally posted by Arvon: TEST YOUR EGG I.Q. How well do you know your yolks from your whites? Are you an egghead...or an empty shell? Take our quiz and find out. 1. Without breaking it open, how can you tell if an egg is fresh? a) Carefully feel the shell -- if it has soft spots, the egg is rotten. b) Hold the egg up your ear and shake it. If you hear the yolk slosh- ing around inside, the egg is still fresh. A silent egg is a rotten egg. c) Drop the egg in a glass of water. If it sinks to the bottom and lays on its side, it's fresh. If it sinks to the bottom and "stands" on one end, it's old but probably still edible. If it floats, it's rotten. 2, Which part of the egg is known as the "chalazae"? a) The protective coating on the outside of the shell. b) The membrane separating the yolk from the white. c) The thin strands of egg white that connect the yolk to the shell. 3. What's the difference between Grade A and Grade AA eggs? a) Grade AA eggs contain twice as much vitamin A, because the hens get a diet of fortified chicken feed. b) Grade AA eggs have plumper yolks and thicker whites. c) Grade AA hens, also known as "yearlings" or "freshmen" hens, are younger and healthier than the hens that lay Grade A eggs. 4. What's the best way to store an egg in the refrigerator? a) With the tapered end pointing up. b) With the tapered end pointing down. c) Neither -- eggs keep best when they're lying on their side. 5. Without breaking it open, how can you tell if an egg is cooked? a) Spin it on a flat surface -- raw eggs wobble; cooked ones don't. b) Hold it up to a bright light -- eggshells that have been cooked for seven minutes or longer are slightly transparent. c) Carefully examine the shell -- it's physically impossible to boil an egg without cracking the shell in at least one place.
