Back in September of 2009, I did a poll to see which color eggs readers prefer.  As of today, 73% of readers prefer brown eggs over white eggs.  I think I should have a poll asking how many actually buy them.  During my recent vacation in Paris, I noticed the markets selling brown eggs and here in the U.S., I usually see more white eggs for sale.  So is there a difference?  Well, I looked it up and this is what I found out.

Is there a difference between brown eggs and white eggs?

The main difference I have found is in the price which is passed on to you, the consumer.  The reason for the higher price is due to the costs of raising the brown egg producing hens, which are larger than the white egg producing hens, so the cost to feed them are higher.  Even though farmers can produce a cheaper product with a better margin by raising white egg producing hens, the brown eggs sell well, due to the beliefs of better nutrition. Of course gadgetskitchen.com readers are more informed, so just go for the white eggs my friends and save a cluck... i mean buck.

So to answer the burning question about if brown eggs are more nutritinonal, the answer is a big chicken winged sized no!  The color has nothing to do with it, but if you want quality, make sure it is fresh and with time the quality of the egg diminishes.  The fresh time span for eggs are 5 weeks so maybe you should be more concerned about that.

Bamboo charcoal is activated charcoal that is derived from environmentally friendly bamboo.  Now ask yourself, how long has that box of baking soda been in your fridge?  You are actually supposed to change that box out once a month.  Now the average price for a box of baking soda runs around $1.00 to $2.00.  So for each year, you will be spending around $30 to $60 to deodorize and freshen your refrigerator.  Don't think short term my fellow kitchen gadget lovers.  Now cost aside, that box is ugly!  Yes, I said it... UGLY!  Take a look at the attractive options you have in the modern age my friend.  Not only does this product look nice, it also extends the life of fresh produce.  How does it extend the life of fresh produce?  It does this by acting as a natural humidity regulator and by absorbing the ethylene gas that fruits and vegetables naturally emit as they ripen.  Now add that to the total cost savings as well ok. 

So now your mind must be saying,  this thing is making sense.... and will save you more than cents!  You can use bamboo charcoal for up to 3 years, but it is recommended to change this out once a year for optimal performance.  Make it a habit to change it out every Thanksgiving. 

The bamboo charcoal is still new to the market and many are skeptical, but once you try it, you will kick the box habit.  I did...I tested this product out and made sure I had a good and fairly stinky fridge.  I placed this bamboo charcoal in the fridge and the next morning, the fridge was odorless!  *I purposely spilled some kim chee in my fridge for testing sake.  Not only is this available for the fridge, but is available for the closet where your stinky shoes reside.  Natural Air Purifier Bamboo charcoal has a surface area as high as 600 sq meters per gram, and is excellent at absorbing and trapping harmful substances from the air such as allergens, smoke, odors, and VOCs from fresh paint or carpet. Charcoal also improves air quality by acting as a natural humidity regulator.  If you have pets, do a search for bamboo charcoal and change the way we deodorize the fridge where our food is stored. 

Now the price for the product I have pictured above goes for about $18.00.  Remember, compare this to the $30-$60 per year spent on the box, as well as the better smelling fridge and longer lasting fresh produce.  Give this product a try.... I highly recommend it!

A wok is a perfect cooking tool to stir fry and with the proper knowledge on how to cook with a wok, you can create magical meals with this traditional tool.  A general rule that I have noticed is the cost associated with these woks.  For the cheaper models, you actually get what you pay for.  If you are in the market for a wok, save up a little and make sure you get a high quality wok and not just settle for the cheapest price. 

The size is also important when considering which wok to use, some are smaller and are harder to use.  You also have to decide if you want electric or cast iron and everything else in between.  I personally like using a cast iron wok the best.  It does take time for the heat to disperse, but when it is ready to fry... watch out... tasty stir fry goodies are on the way!  One of the benefits of using an electric wok is that it does provide the even heated cooking surface versus the traditional woks.

Using the heavy cast iron work, the heat is retained longer and better.  The good thing about this is that you can have a prolonged heated cooking surface for as long as you desire.  If you were cooking for a large dinner party, this feature is great for the cast iron woks. 

One of the unique features of a wok is that you can move your food to the side of the cooking surface, due to the high sloping sides and keep food away from where the heat is more concentrated, in the center.  Having this option is also a skill that new wok cooks need to be aware of, instead of just keeping the food sitting in the hot zone the entire time.

The wok also needs special care for cleaning and you need to keep it dry and rubbed with oil when not in use.  The extra efforts pay off by the satisfied taste buds, have fun and explore the cooking wonders of a wok.
