Omelet Making Tip
Egg Storage

Eggs should never be stored at room temperature. Eggs that are to be warmed to room temperature for use in a recipe, should be done so at the appropriate time.


Omelet Making Tip
Potatoes

Potatoes are available in waxy, medium waxy, and floury varieties; from low to high starch. The lower the starch content in a potato the better the potato holds its shape when cooked.
