Re: The Best Answer Challenge - Jalpari's Question

My question is that, how to make egg not smell, when you use it in baking or cooking Chinese etc.

Last time i made cream puffs, everything was perfect, just that the puffs smelled of eggs. I thought to beat the eggs well for next batch which made the mixture too runny though all the measurements were accurate. The final product still had a faint smell of yolks.

Re: The Best Answer Challenge - Jalpari's Question

how old were the eggs you used that may be a reason, use as fresh eggs as possible:)

Re: The Best Answer Challenge - Jalpari's Question

were the eggs refrigerated just before you used them or were they at room temperature?
were they regular white eggs from a dairy farm or were they from "desi, free-run chickens"?

hmmmm........I don't know specifically....perhaps some of our baking experts would be better qualified to tell us, but I understand that it is best to use eggs that are at room temperature.

having said that I have to wonder if the smell wouldn't be more prominent if the eggs are allowed to warm up to room temperature rather then using them directly from the fridge.

I think I've just nullified by own suggestion...... lol

Adding a tablespoon of honey in the batter does help to get rid the smell of egg while baking cake..Not sure about puffs,etc though :hmmm:

Re: The Best Answer Challenge - Jalpari's Question

I don't remember exactly about eggs but there is something about how they are stored and near other items that would affect smell that comes from them. The reason being is something like the shell of an egg is porous and this means other smells and stuff around will then seep into an egg and so cause a change in the flavour because the egg shell retains the smells and thus affecting taste.

I can try and find a link but maybe this is possibly affecting the taste. You could also try reducing the amount of egg you use in case this produces a more eggy taste/ smell.
