Tips on Cooking Eggs Offered by Nutrition Expert Anyone can cook an egg, ac cording to Kathryn Cooley, ex tension food and nutrition spe cialist at the University of Neb raska. - Eggs are naturally a delicious ; and nutritious food. If they come to the table unattractive or unappetizing, perhaps the cock's to blame, Miss Cooley re minds us. The secret of egg cookery,; whether cooking them in water, ' frying pan or oven, is to cook them at low to moderate tem peratures. Like all protein food, eggs cooked at too high a tem perature become tough and lea thery. The green unattractive color, sometimes seen on the surface of a hard cooked egg, may b3 prevented by cooking at sim mering temperature. Then cool the egg promptly in cold water. If oven dishes such as cus tards and souffles are overcook ed or cooked at 'too high tem perature, -weeping" will occur, in a well baked custard the side.1? and bottom of the product arc smooth and firm. In an over cooked one, there will be bub bles along the sides of the dish. Fresh eggs, a day old, give the best results, when cooking. They usually have the best fla vor, too. songs by the "high school girls chorus, accompanied by Mrs. Johnston. George Hall arrived home from Los Angeles on Sunday evening, coming on the Zephyr train.
