how to poach eggs tender whites around a
warm liquid yolk that oozes out like
gold when you cut into it they’re an
essential part of Eggs Benedict they can
turn any salad into a meal or any
vegetable into brunch found on the
Serious Eats Channel the guys on the
Food Lab really are serious about their
eggs poached eggs are particularly
difficult to nail but follow this video
and yours will be coming out perfect in
no time as long as it’s packed in the US
every carton of eggs has a number
between 0 0 0 and 365 on it and that
number corresponds to the day on which
the egg was cleaned and packed probably
the most interesting and useful part of
this tutorial is the first half in which
the freshness of the egg is explained
and emphasized so a number of 0 0 0
would mean January 1st 0 0 3 with me
January 4th and so on all you really
need to know is that the higher the
number the pressure the yes once you
have the right egg you’re just a fine
mesh strainer and some fairly simple
animations away from serving up
something to be proud of we’re gonna
transfer our eggs to a fine mesh
strainer and gently swirl it around
until all the excess white is drained
away
what you’re left with is a nice tight
bag number nine how to de-seed a
pomegranate in ten seconds so you’re
just kind of breaking the skin you don’t
want to cut all the way through you want
to try and keep those pomegranate seeds
intact so there we go we’ve got all the
way around the pomegranate has been the
pesky I’m not sure if I can really
bother to eat that fruit for too long as
the husband and wife presenting duo on
fit for two TB tells us the pomegranate
is a great source of vitamin C and K but
it’s also an almighty pain to prepare
loosen it up a little bit so again we’re
not digging in there and pulling them
all out and breaking them up and getting
you know really messy we’re just kind of
loosening them up in there bit but no
more gently pry the fruit open loosen
those seeds out a little and tap like
there’s no tomorrow I’m gonna grab a
wooden spoon or a spatula or something
like that and then it might take a
little longer than the ten seconds
promised but at least it doesn’t leave
your finger tips stained pomegranate
pink and there’s pretty much all the
pomegranates out pomegranate seeds out
in the bowl number eight how to crack
open a coconut you know for a carefree
island fruit coconuts can be pretty
stubborn you might not immediately
associate American Express with quirky

worth checking out in this edition Keri
Bryan has a literal tough nut to crack
but she makes light work of it anyway
first step drain that delicious coconut
water
it’s crazy hydrating and removing it
cuts down on the mess grab your
screwdriver and place it on one of these
three eyes
hold it steady with a towel and give it
a few good whacks with a hammer until it
breaks through all you need to do is
take one coconut one screwdriver and one
hammer safely drain the coconut water
first and then set to work on whacking
and cracking the actual coconut open
wrap it in a towel now it’s time to
bring down the hammer

to make an omelet in a bag quick and

when it comes to our first meal of the
day
but they’re also notoriously tricky to
get right not to mention very difficult
to make without also making a mess burn
each omelet add two eggs into a large
resealable freezer bag this kitchen hack
hops over all those bad things though
simply by substituting the frying pan
for a freezer bag press out most of the
air from the bag and seal shake or
squeeze the bag to beat the eggs now
open the bag and add in your favorite
omelet ingredients actual cooking time
is probably a little longer but this way
you can make multiple meals at once to
cook the omelet bring a large pot of
water to a boil place the freezer bag in
the water
now you can cook up to eight omelets at
the same time so feel free to have them
assembled ahead of time to make an
omelet you still have to break a few
eggs but it’s no longer a chaotic
experience now wasn’t that easy
a perfect breakfast and cleanup is a
breeze
number six super quick potato peeling
start by taking a sharp knife and
carefully run the blade around the

water into another pan and keep the
potatoes in the first one it need not be

absolute minimum amount of effort run
the pan under some cold water for a few
seconds till they’re just cool enough to
pick up you should be able to see the
cut mark all the way around the potatoes
not only is it easier but by peeling the
skins away after you boil them you skip
having to accidentally cut yourself on
the traditional potato peeler ever again

the skin off then turn it around and do
the same on the other side and there we
have our really easy way to peel a
potato pretty cool huh

never seen it plus the clip even shows
us how to present our avocado like a pro

through and then take your hand and just
push it just think one avocado in 30
seconds that’s a hundred and twenty

most traditional recipes for making
pasta tell you to start out with lots
and lots of water we’ve all been here
we’ve spent so much time and
concentration on concocting the perfect
sauce or topping for our pasta and then
we get almost to the end only to realize
that we forgot to actually cook the
pasta in the first place turns out that

lot of time a lot of water a lot of
energy by starting out with cold water

the heat and race your way to a
well-timed meal because the water is
cold the pasta won’t stick to itself at
the very beginning when it’s done you

cry explains how to remove it – you’re
free and even showcases an optimum
slicing method you’re gonna cut through
here like this and kind of come at an
angle it’ll be kind of a cone
you’re gonna cut yourself a circle be
real careful take this slow and you’re
gonna do about 1/3 of the onion deep
this should contain the entire bulb of
the onion from now on if you’re crying
during cooking it’ll only be because
you’ve burned your bowling days or
you’ve over spiced your enchiladas this
gentle pressure tool starts you can lay
your hand right on top there until goes
