Lesson Goals

Eggs are extremely important and versatile in cooking. While they are often eaten on their own, eggs also play an important role in many of the dishes that we prepare and eat every day. Despite their importance in cooking, many people don’t know a lot about eggs. So, before moving on to the vast number of uses for eggs, let’s focus first on egg basics.

In this lesson, you’ll learn about the anatomy of an egg, how to determine freshness and two of the five methods of cooking eggs – boiled eggs and scrambled eggs. Gaining a better understanding of egg anatomy and basic egg cooking will help prepare you for subsequent lessons involving eggs where we look at sunny up, over easy and poached eggs.

At the end of this cooking school lesson, you will be able to:

  • identify the anatomy of an egg
  • understand how to buy, store and determine the freshness of eggs
  • make boiled eggs and scrambled eggs
