Many of the differences between American and British English date back to a time when spelling standards had not yet developed. For instance, some spellings seen as American today were once commonly used in Britain.
Secondly, you can pasteurize raw eggs before making dishes with them. When you pasteurize eggs you bring them up to about 140-150 degrees for 3-5 minutes depending on the age and the size of the eggs. If the temperature goes any higher you start to cook the egg. Pasteurizing eggs wonât completely eliminate the risks that eating raw eggs bring, it will however drastically reduce the chance of contamination. You can purchase pasteurized eggs at the grocery store, but itâs really easy to do yourself.
Some recipes specify that the eggs or egg whites be at room temperature when added. However, for recipes that donât specify room temperature eggs, use eggs straight from the refrigerator. In the case of cheesecakes and other batters with a high fat content, adding cold eggs could re-harden the fat, making the batter appear curdled or lumpy, possibly affecting the texture of the baked product. To avoid this, make sure you use room temperature eggs for baking. Remove the eggs from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before use, or put them in a bowl of warm water while assembling the other ingredients. Recipes that involve beating eggs or egg whites, with or without sugar, into a stable foam â soufflÃ©s, meringues, angel and sponge cakes â also specify room temperature eggs. Thatâs because eggs whip up to a greater volume when theyâve had a chance to warm up a bit, 20 to 30 minutes.
