Thursday: Read the Egg Card

Oliver pins a new card to the wall. "Fluffy Scrambled Eggs," he reads.

Bennie licks his lips. "Can I taste the eggs while we whisk them?"

Lizzy shakes her head. "What do you notice? The eggs are still raw then."

Riley points to the stove. "Here is a hint," he says. "Taste only when they are cooked."

Egg safety

Never taste raw egg. Wait until the eggs are cooked.

Wash your hands after you touch raw eggs.

Cook eggs until the yolk and the white are firm.

Scrambled eggs should not be runny.
