Buchanan, Extension hospitality systems specialist at Purdue University, offers some solutions to common egg-cooking problems. • Weeping, water separating from cooked eggs, is caused by overcooking (either cooking too long at a low temperature or by cooking and holding at high heat).

To avoid problems, cook the eggs over low heat just until done and limit the number of ingredients added to the mixture. Cook and drain all ingredients before adding them to the eggs. Meringues are also subject to weeping Sugar, added but not thoroughly incorporated, into the mixture, is the most common cause of weeping To avoid the problem, add sugar in small quantities, beating thoroughly before and after each addition After beating the meringue well, check to see if the sugar is dissolved by rubbing some meringue between thumb and

forefinger Place the meringue on a hot filling and cook it in hot oven just until the top is lightly browned. • Greening, that unappetizing hue that appears on the outside of the yolk of some hardboiled eggs and can appear in scrambled eggs and omelets, is caused by a natural chemical reaction which is enhanced by heat. Use fresh eggs (greening occurs more easily on older eggs) and avoid holding eggs over heat for an extended period.
