I'm sure I've mentioned here that I can't abide chalaza, aka egg snot.
I know, a prominint chalaza indicates a high quality egg, I still
don't like it.

Since I'm going to need to remove the chalaza from 4 eggs to make the
noodles for chicken noodle soup, I thought I'd try one more method in
hopes that it would be easier than what I've been doing.
Yahoo!!! it's great. Quick and easy.

Let's get dechalazaing an egg.

Use the tip of a paring knife and your finger to grasp the white
portion of the chalaza.

Keeping a firm hold of the white part, gently lift it from the egg.

Ta daaa. Easy peasy.

Might as well make an omelet.

I'm off to make the noodles now.

Cute series. :-) I separate yolks and whites by dumping the raw egg in
my (clean) hand and letting the white drain thru my fingers. I can get
ALL the white off that way by gentle finger pressure. I then gently
pick that Chalaza off with my fingernails.

The white then goes into a jar for the next omelet or scrambled eggs,
that raw yolk is generally destined to be eaten raw with a little salt
as is, or added to a dipping sauce for steak tartar. ;-d

Did I ever say how much I loved raw egg yolks?

Hmmm. I always remove silverskin and membranes from meat, and the
tendon from chicken breasts, and I often shake the seeds and snot out
of tomatoes, but can't say I've ever paid any heed at all to this tiny
bit of an egg. Doesn't it disappear automatically when you whisk
eggs, and when you fry them? What's wrong with it? -aem

Huh. It never even occurred to me to be grossed out by that particular
structure.

<Ponders momentarily... Goes upstairs, cracks half a dozen eggs into a
skillet with some butter, while staring intently at the *CHALAZA*.
Prepares the dogs' traditional post tournament victory feast of
scrambled eggs, while thinking the matter over. Portions out scrambled
eggs (steals a spoonful for self). Adds kibble, pours a little milk
over them to cool them to eating temp, since the dogs were on red alert
since the first shell was cracked, and waiting is not an option.>

Okay, nope, still not grossed out. Can't spend a lot of time thinking
about hot dogs, though.

I can't look at that Subject header without thinking its about some kind
of Jewish ritual.

It is, but it's only performed on male sharks.

Depends on what you think of uncooked eggwhite. It's a different protein
from the rest of the "white", and it takes a higher temperature to set
it. If you make sure the chalaza is set, many folks will think the rest
of the egg is overcooked.

You chickenshit!!! Fortheluvvapete, you're going to beat the eggs
first, aren't you? Even if you're not, it's not like the chalaze is
going to be identifiable *anywhere* in your dough.

Koko, Koko, Koko. . . . LOL!!
