As well as the consistently excellent Trivia No Izumi whilst I was eating my dinner this evening I watched the interesting program Ito-ke.

This program is targeted at the mighty Japanese obaachan with tips on how to resize jumpers that have shrunk in the wash (using hair conditioner), ways to reuse a photo album and ways to get a cleaner saucepan. But these average hints were far surpassed (in my mind at least) by the revelation on how to make the inside of an egg white and the outside yellow as in the picture above.

There are two ways to do this - The first way is to make a hole in the egg with a pin and stick a paper clip with the end segment bent 45 degrees into the hole and stir vigorously as in the pictures on this page.

Secondly and far easier is to put the egg in a pair of stockings and clip either side right next to the egg. Then holding tightly at either end of the stockings, spin the egg around. This mixes the yolk and gives a greater success rate than the first method.
