EGG-celent time of year Julie Cascio UAF Cooperative Extension Service Tis the time of year to enjoy eggs. At Easter many of us boil eggs to decorate them.

Then hide them to hunt and collect. Enjoy eating the boiled eggs plain, made into deviled eggs or egg salad or added to potato salad.

Egg-ceptional nutritious and economical, eggs provide high quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and health-promoting bioactive compounds. Eating up to one egg a day has been deemed to have little effect on cardiovascular health for most individuals. Do take care when handling and preparing fresh eggs and egg products.

Live poultry can carry bacteria such as Salmonella, which can contaminate the inside of eggs before the shells are formed. Egg shells may become contaminated with Salmonella from live poultry droppings (poop) or the area where the eggs are laid.

CDC.gov recommends: • Keep eggs refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or colder.

ter tops, utensils, dishes, and cutting boards—with soap and water.

• Discard cracked or dirty eggs.

If eggs crack while transporting them home from the store, the USDA advises breaking any cracked eggs into a clean container. Tightly cover the container and refrigerate it, using the eggs within two days.

If eggs crack during hard boiling, they are still safe to consume. FDA.gov

• Use pasteurized eggs and egg products.

Use for raw or lightly cooked eggs such as hollandaise sauce, Caesar salad dressing, and tiramisu.

• Cook eggs until both the yolk and white are firm. Egg dishes should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) or hotter.

• Eat or refrigerate eggs and foods containing eggs promptly after cooking. Do not keep eggs or foods made with eggs warm or at room temperature for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour if the temperature is 90°F or hotter.

• Wash hands and items that came into contact with raw eggs—including coun-

Egg Cracking The most common way of cracking an egg is on the rim of a bowl or pan. While this gets the job done it can drive the shell into the egg causing bits of egg shell to fall into the raw egg. To prevent this, the best way is to crack it on a flat surface.

As eggs.cas/eggs101 adds, “use your thumbs to separate the egg shell where it’s cracked and tip the egg into a small bowl.”

Crack your eggs into a separate bowl before adding it to your pan or into your main ingredients to make sure the egg is still fresh and no bits of shell remain.

Home & Garden Julie Cascio University of Alaska Fairbanks, Cooperative Extension Service If your freezer continues to have lots of meat from last fall’s hunting or a large meat purchase, a way to open space in the freezer is to can that meat in jars or cans.

Canning caribou, deer (venison) or moose meat has some real advantages. The tough cuts of meat are tenderized by the canning process.

Sealed jars of correctly canned meat are stored in a cool, dry, dark location. Having a good area for the storage is important.

Exposure to heat, freezing temperatures, or light decreases the quality and shelf life of the canned food. Fortunately, there is not the extra electricity cost for storage that the freezer has.

Go to www.CESpubs.uaf.edu for publications on canning meat in jars or in cans.

The meat must be processed in a pressure canner, for the correct amount of time, to ensure safety.

Another advantage to canned meat is that

Sauerkraut Stew it can be made into a meal quickly. Since the correctly canned meat has been cooked during the processing, it is ready to eat. Such an advantage when in a hurry to make a meal!

When ready to use, examine the jar for signs of spoilage. Before moving the jar off the self, look for rising air bubbles, cloudy canning liquid or unnatural color inside the jar. While opening the jar, watch for spurting liquid or cotton-like mold growth on food surface or under the lid. Smell for unnatural or off odors. Never taste food from a jar with an unsealed lid or food that shows signs of spoilage.

It is so fun to have simple ways to make
