One would imagine their culture is to consume eggs much more quickly. Refrigerating eggs can make them last an amazingly long time. I am sure some of mine have held for as long as a month or more, although I do use FIFO to keep the oldest egg carton on top. Never want to run out of eggs. Such a good breakfast.

Thanks. That was an interesting read. Almost at the end it confirmed that chilling more than doubles the shelf life of eggs.

"Another perk of consistent refrigeration is shelf life: It jumps from about 21 days to almost 50 days."

Very true. But then you have to be the kind of person who remembers to take the eggs out of the refrigerator long enough ahead of time to get them up to room temperature.

I'm of the opinion that some of those rules are exaggerated. God knows, almost every TV chef said you needed to use only pure vanilla of the best quality. Then, America's Test Kitchen found out that even discriminating palates could rarely tell the difference between imitation and pure extracts in a cooked item.

I've used room temperature eggs and chilled eggs alike in baking, and found little difference in the results. I have also put them in slightly warm water to raise their temps, to no observable effect.

I made a couple of bacon cups over the weekend, but don't think they're worth it.

The pics with scallions and arugala with pork belly look wonderful. I'd serve the pork belly with a lot more arugala than that, although understand the need of the photographer to stage the dish well.

I baked a pound yesterday for use during the week, and it is some of the best I have had in memory, outside a diner over at Rogersville a week ago.

I need to look up the brand again. I've been buying various to sample. It was Kentucky something-or-other.

What are some different ways of cooking bacon?

R J Holland's answer: My wife’s cooks bacon with this method and it works great. Put flour in a small container then put the bacon, one piece at a time in and coat it with the flour shaking the container a little. Lay a sheet of parchment paper in the pan and turn up or fold up the sides of the...

I'm thinking a thick cut will still get some shrinkage though.

That sounds dirty.
