ll that because it will not spin on the table, so it
must have been a raw egg. A cooked egg would spin.
To tell a stale egg, you will see it is more transparent at the _thick_
end when held up to the light.
Fresh eggs are more transparent in the _middle_. Very bad eggs will
_float_ in a pan of water.
Poached Eggs
Break each egg separately into a cup. When your water is boiling fast,
drop in an egg sharply. Use a large deep pan, with salt and vinegar in
the water. Lift the egg very carefully in a ladle before it is set too
hard. Place the eggs all round a soup plate, pour over them a nice sauce
made with flour and butter, a little milk, and some grated cheese and
salt.
STOCK POT.--Keep a pot going all day, into which you can put any
broken-up bones or scraps left over, to make nourishing broth. Clean
turnips, carrots, and onions improve it. Before using let it get cold,
so as to skim off the fat.
