How can I tell if
an egg is fresh?
You can easily gauge eggs’ freshness
by gently placing them in a bowl of cold
water. Really fresh eggs will drop to the
bottom of the bowl and lie on their sides.
Somewhat fresh eggs will stand on end
and bob about in the water. Old eggs will
float— and should be discarded.
Go to BHG.com/foodadvice for more
hints or to ask a kitchen question.

Pim iento Cheese
This blend of cheddar and mild peppers
is all the rage on restaurant menus, and
with good reason— it’s great for adding a
cheesy kick to burgers and sandwiches,
or simply spread on crackers. Callie’s
makes small batches of both fiery (shown)
and classic versions in its Charleston,
S.C., kitchen.
