Unit Plan
The lessons focus on how we use eggs in cooking, how to buy, handle and store eggs properly, and
how to prepare eggs successfully.

This unit is divided into three lessons:

HOW DO WE USE EGGS?

By identifying the types of foods that use eggs, students recognize that eggs perform a variety
of functions in creating the foods they eat.

Research and experiments are used to develop techniques for using eggs.

GUIDELINES FOR BUYING, HANDLING AND STORING EGGS

Through research students identify:

• the three grades of eggs and their uses

• that eggs are a perishable food
• that refrigeration is the key to maintaining quality and freshness
• proper handling practises to avoid cross-contamination and the growth of micro-organisms

HOW TO PREPARE EGGS SUCCESSFULLY

Students review the proper cooking techniques for preparing basic eggs.

Skills are developed by preparing eggs using two different methods.

Learner Expectations
Students will:

• understand the function of eggs as a:

– thickening agent
– leavening agent
– emulsifying agent
– binding/coating agent
• identify proper food handling and storage of eggs including:
– grades
– appropriate handling and storage for maintaining quality and safety
– dating system
• apply principles of egg cookery in the preparation of eggs and egg dishes

Lesson A cooking with eggs

How Do We Use Eggs?

Through brainstorming, students discover that eggs can be used to prepare many types of foods, to
perform different cooking functions (depending on the dish), and can be served for mealtimes other
than breakfast.

Experiments using egg white for meringue, and egg yolk for mayonnaise are used to demonstrate
how the unique properties of eggs are utilized in food preparation.

The different functions of eggs are explored through research on techniques for preparing omelettes,
quiches, meringues, souffles, and crepes.

Resources Required:
Student Worksheets: How Do We Use Eggs?

Experiment Guides: Properties of Eggs – Egg White, Egg Yolks
Fact sheet: Omelettes, Quiches, Meringues, Souffles and Crepes
Video: Eggs Made Easy series, covers – Omelettes, Quiches, Meringues, Souffles
and Crepes

Activities:
Students brainstorm a list of 10 foods that use eggs. Ideas can be recorded on the “How Do We Use
Eggs” worksheet. The following questions will assist students in identifying different foods and
mealtime uses of eggs.

What mealtime do you associate with the foods you listed?

(Breakfast, Lunch, Supper, Snacks)
What are some other foods that use eggs, that you may not associate with a specific
meal time?

There are a great variety of ways to prepare and use eggs in cooking. Discuss the following functions
and have students predict which functions eggs perform in the dishes they have identified. Findings
can be recorded on the “How Do We Use Eggs” chart.

main ingredient – an ingredient that forms the basis for the recipe

thickening agent – an ingredient that causes liquid mixtures to thicken or set

leavening agent – an ingredient that is used to lighten the texture and increase the
volume of baked products

emulsifying agent – an ingredient that is used to combine two liquids, such as oil and water,
that would not normally combine

3
Lesson A ( con’ t )

binding agent – an ingredient that helps a mixture stick together

coating agent – an ingredient that is applied to the outer surface as a “coating” or as a

substance that other coatings adhere to

Have students list at least two foods for each function.

Alternate Activity:
Students collect and review restaurant and cafeteria menus to identify dishes that use eggs. Have
students predict the function/role of eggs in creating these dishes.

How do egg whites leaven? How do egg yolks allow oil and water to mix? Follow the “Properties of
Eggs” experiments to find the answers. The experiment sheets give step by step instructions.

The techniques used in the creation of omelettes, souffles, quiches, meringues and crepes are fundamental
to the creation of many dishes and utilize the unique properties of eggs. Using the product fact sheets
and/or video, students research and report on the proper preparation techniques for preparing
these foods. Findings are recorded on the “Techniques For Eggs” worksheet.

Lesson B cooking with eggs

Guidelines for Buying, Handling and

Storing Eggs

Like meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products, eggs are perishable. Producers, graders, and consumers
all play a role in ensuring that we have high-quality, safe eggs to use.

Through research, students discover:

• the role temperature plays in maintaining freshness and controlling micro-organism growth
• how eggs are graded and what each grade is used for
• what steps consumers can take to avoid microorganism growth and cross contamination
• how to store eggs to maintain their quality

Resources
Student Worksheet: How To Buy, Handle and Store Eggs
Brochure: The Extraordinary Egg
Video: The Extraordinary Egg

Activities
Students read the “Extraordinary Egg” brochure and/or review the video and answer questions on
the “How To Buy, Handle, And Store Eggs” worksheet. Concepts covered include:

• how eggs get to market

• egg anatomy
• safe storage and handling practises
• egg grades and sizes
• “Best Before” dating

Lesson c

How To Prepare Eggs Successfully

The key to successful egg cookery is time and temperature. Cooking at too high a temperature or for
too long at a low temperature causes toughening.

Through research, students identify the key principles for preparing eggs including, in the shell,
poaching, frying, and scrambling eggs. Skills are developed through food preparation labs.

To demonstrate their knowledge, students develop their own recipes, using the basic principles.

Resources Required:
Student Worksheets: 10 Tips To Successful Eggs
What Do Successful Eggs Look Like?
Leaflet: The Basics

Activities:
What happens when you cook a piece of meat too long? (It turns tough) The same thing happens to
an egg.

What is the right temperature to cook an egg? How long should you cook it? The answer varies with
the method you choose.

Students read the basic techniques for preparing eggs successfully in “The Basics” leaflet. The key
steps in preparing scrambled, poached, fried, baked and hard cooked eggs are recorded on the
“10 Tips To Successful Eggs” worksheet.

Students experiment with cooking techniques by selecting two preparation methods and preparing
the product in the food lab. Preparation instructions are provided in “The Basics” leaflet. Have students
evaluate their finished product by filling out the “What Do Successful Eggs Look Like?” worksheet.

Using the principles they have learned about basic egg cookery, have students create their own recipe
for a breakfast, lunch or supper dish. Students should include a list of ingredients and preparation
instructions.

Techniques For Eggs

1. How do you test a quiche for doneness?
• a knife inserted near the centre comes out clean

2. When adding egg yolks to warm ingredients, how do you prevent the egg yolk from
cooking or coagulating before you can combine it thoroughly?
• beat yolks well and add some of the warm sauce mixture to egg yolks – then combine yolk
mixture with remaining sauce or mixture

3. What procedure should you follow when combining beaten egg whites with a sauce
base to make a souffle?
• gently mix a small amount of beaten egg white foam into sauce base first, to make the
sauce lighter
• then gently but thoroughly fold the sauce into the remaining egg whites, with a rubber
spatula, by going down one side of the bowl and up through the centre, turning bowl
slightly after each folding

4. How do you test a souffle for doneness?

• a souffle is done when the top is golden, or feels firm to the touch, and jiggles only slightly
when shaken

5. Why do you refrigerate batter when making crepes?

• to allow the flour to expand and be absorbed by the egg and milk mixture, and to allow the
air bubbles to collapse

6. What is a frittata?
• an open-faced omelette in which vegetables, cheese, meat, or other filling ingredients are
combined with beaten eggs

7. What is the difference between a French omelette and a puffy omelette?

• for a French omelette, eggs are beaten together and cooked quickly over direct heat
• for a puffy omelette, the egg yolks and whites are beaten separately, folded together, cooked
over direct heat until browned on the underside, and then baked in the oven until set

8. Why should you use water and and not milk when making an omelette?
• water turns to steam, producing a light, airy omelette
• milk is great for creamy scrambled eggs but omelettes require water for the lightness

9. What is the secret to successful meringues?

• a stable egg white foam

10. When preparing meringues, how do you test that the sugar has dissolved in the egg white?
• rub a little beaten meringue between your thumb and forefinger, if it feels gritty, beat a
little longer

Teachers notes

Test 1 – Properties of Egg Whites

Protein molecules are single molecules – one of the largest molecules in existence.

The shape of a protein molecule plays an important part in determining how it behaves. Protein
molecules in egg whites are like tiny balls of yarn. Their round, compact shape enables them to
dissolve in water. When you beat egg whites, you are, in effect, unravelling these balls of yarn. The
long chains that form are too large to dissolve. The process of changing something from its natural
form is called denaturing. It is impossible to restore the denatured egg white to its original form.

Test # 2 – Making Hard Meringues

Cream of tarter is added to egg whites to make the foam last longer. It stabilizes the foam.

As the egg whites are beaten, the protein becomes more unravelled, and the foam becomes stiffer.
The water in the egg whites is carried along the strands of protein. When sugar is beaten into stiff
egg whites, it dissolves into this water.

This is why you add sugar very slowly to give it a chance to go into solution. If all the sugar doesn’t
dissolve, tiny droplets of sugar syrup will form on the surface of the finished product. This syrup is
referred to as “weeping”.

The last step in making meringues is to remove the water. This is accomplished by drying the
meringues in a warm oven for a long

A successful meringue is a stiff, off-white confection. Sugar absorbs moisture from the air,
so meringues must be stored away from the air, otherwise they become soft and fall apart.

Meringues will keep for weeks in an airtight container.

Test 3 – Making Mayonnaise

If, you add a certain other substance to a mixture of oil and vinegar, you can stabilize the mixture
and prevent separation. The result is a stable emulsion. The substance that keeps the two liquids
from separating is called an emulsifying agent.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil in vinegar. The emulsifying agent is egg yolks.

The egg yolks are first thoroughly mixed with the water in the vinegar so the water droplets are
dispersed and ready to receive the oil.

The oil is then added slowly to the yolk mixture. The idea in making mayonnaise is to spread tiny
droplets as they form and prevent them from coming together and forming separate layers. If you
add the oil too fast, or add too much oil at one time, the droplets will come together before the oil
can be forced into the egg yolks and the mayonnaise will curdle or separate. If this happens, you can
correct the situation with fresh egg yolk, but add the curdled mayonnaise to the yolk rather than the
other way around.

How To Buy, Handle And Store Eggs

1. Eggs should always be refrigerated to maintain their freshness and to stop micro-organisms
from growing.

2. What are graders looking for when they candle an egg?

• clean, sound shell free from dirt and cracks
• the size of the air cell (the smaller the air cell the fresher the egg)
• a well centred yolk (this indicates the white is thick)

3. Name three characteristics an egg must have to be classified as Canada Grade A.

• a thick white
• a well centred yolk
• a very small air cell
• a clean sound shell

4. Why do eggs pick up odours easily from other foods? What can consumers do to
prevent this?
• egg shells have 8,000 –10,000 tiny pores that allow moisture and gases (including odours
from other foods) in and out
• by storing eggs in their carton or in a covered container you can limit other gases and
moisture from penetrating the shell

5. What are grade B and C eggs used for?

• Grade B eggs are used for commercial baking and further processing
• Grade C eggs must be sent to processors; they are pasteurized for use in commercial food
production and the manufacturing of nonfood items, such as shampoo

6. The most common sizes for eggs are: extra large, large, medium and small. Eggs are
sized according to their weight .

7. The Best Before date on the carton tells you how long the eggs will maintain their

8. What is another name for the white of an egg? Albumen

9. Name three steps you can take to avoid the possibility of cross-contamination when
you are preparing foods in the home.
• always wash your hands first; they are one of the easiest ways to transfer micro-organisms
• wash utensils such as, knives and cutting boards that have been used with raw products
before reusing for other raw products or cooked products
• do not mix leftovers from the serving table with other food that is still on the stove or in the
refrigerator. The difference in temperatures can stimulate micro-organism growth.
