Tip for doing eggs, for sandwiches grate them on a cheese grater, much quicker than chopping.

Yuck, would never boil eggs in with other foodstuffs, I was discouraged from doing it when young but can't remember the reason. Some people apparently boil eggs in a kettle and use the water for a cuppa, urgh, no thanks.

If you want cooked fish for cats or to use in fishcakes or whatever, I use the same method as eggs, i.e. put in a pan and pour boiling water on the fish to cover and use a tightly fitting lid. Half an hour later or a bit less, remove lid and fish is cooked and cool enough to remove from bones and use. Saves fuel.

Beats me. I think in the olden days eggs might have had chicken poop on them. Not these days, and washing them generally solves that problem! I have no idea why one wouldn't boil them in with other food ...

I do do that with my meat scraps for the feral cats -- cats don't care about medium well. ;)

I'm going to give that cheese-grater tip a try! Grating cheese is No.1's job. Maybe I can assign him to grate eggs too ...

Just found this:

Cheap and easy feed for houseplants. When you boil eggs - save the water. Sieve out any pieces of egg that may have busted out during boiling. This water, when completely cooled, contains lots of minerals from the egg shell and makes a good feed for houseplants and can be used as often as you water.


People can even drink the water from boiling eggs. Just let it cool and you get lots of minerals and calcium for free. Just make sure the shells are very clean before boiling the eggs.


Nope, I can cope with using for plants but not drinking it lol
