Got a lot of eggs to hard-boil? Why not do them in the oven? It’s a fuss-less way to get crackin’!

Hard-boiled eggs have become the No. 1 snack in my house. Am I complaining? Noooo. There are worse foods for my family to eat than eggs, which are relatively cheap and supremely healthy.

The problem is keeping up with the demand. Before I came across this recipe, I had to set aside an afternoon just to boil eggs. Ever stood and watched water boil? Well, it isn’t much more exciting with the addition of eggs. It was also time-consuming, as I don’t typically cook more than six eggs at a time (despite being sold in dozens, eggs have always struck me as antisocial little guys; I try to respect that and grant them their space). And with our daily collective consumption of eggs sometimes getting into double figures, it can be downright stressful!

Thankfully, I have my oven. I no longer do my eggs on the stove but rather, in the oven. I was skeptical at first but after a blind taste test administered to my kids, I’m a believer. Try it out; you’ll be shellshocked by how easy it is!

Are Hard-Boiled Eggs in the Oven Healthy?

Totally. Eggs contain protein and energy and are low in blood cholesterol (but high in dietary cholesterol, which is the ratio you want). And hard-boiling an egg is a healthier way to cook them compared to other methods that require butter or oil. They also fit right in with several diets, including keto, low-carb, whole30, vegetarian, Mediterranean, and gluten-free. Is it any wonder my family go through so many each day?

How Can I Tell When Eggs Have Gone bad?

It’s hard to tell when eating an egg will bring a smile or a frown, but there are some signs to look out for that might inform your decision to take a bite. First, smell the just-cracked egg. If it smells off, it probably is. Second, look at the egg (actually, I guess this would be the first thing you do). Is the egg white or yolk discolored? Do they have green or pink spots? If yes, then no, don’t eat it. What about texture? Slimy eggs may save you from having to use your teeth to eat them but your stomach will be upset. Last do the float test. (Yay, science!) Put each egg in a glass of water. If it remains still at the bottom, it’s good to eat. If it tilts upwards, it is still safe to eat but is on its last legs (or shell, as it were). And if it floats, it’s rotten. And before you ask, no, I can’t explain this phenomenon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is organic meat better?

You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.

Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.

However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.

Local purchases can help you save money. Locally grown fruit and vegetables help lower the price of produce, as farmers are often given incentives to grow better crops.

You can also look for deals to reduce costs. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.

You can also save money by eating less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.

While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.

How do I know if my produce is organic?

These three labels are essential if you want to be certain that you are purchasing organic produce.

USDA Organic Certified – This certification is issued by USDA to ensure that the product is 100% organic.

Certified Naturally Grown – Produce that meets strict organic standards but has not received USDA certification.

Pastured/Free range - These are animals that live outside and graze freely on grasses and herbs.

These labels are used to indicate that the product meets specified criteria.

• No synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
• There are no genetically modified organisms
• No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
• Animals are not ever given hormones.
• No growth-promoting medications
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• No sewage sludge
• GMOs banned
• No antibiotics ever given
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drug
• No feed-additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No sewage effluent (if it isn't a GMO).
• No irradiation

What are organic fruits?

Organic food does not contain pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Organic foods also have more nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K plus omega-3 fatty acid. These healthy ingredients make organic food better for our bodies and the planet.

Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.

Although organics are most commonly associated with produce, organics can also be found in dairy, meats, poultry, eggs and baked goods.

The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. This means that farmers can't use non-organic methods of growing these foods. However, they can use approved organic pest control methods like crop rotation and covering cropping or animal feed made with organic materials.

A farmer must also adhere to guidelines about how much fertilizer or pesticide he applies during the growing season. Also, he must rotate his fields between different crops. GMOs, artificial growth hormones, synthetic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are not allowed in the fields of farmers.

All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will say that their product is "made with organic components". "

Why should I choose organic?

Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. When buying food, you must make wise choices.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:

Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.

USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.

Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

Statistics

• According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
• As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)

How To

Organic Foods: What You Need to Know

Organic foods are those that come from plants or animals, and do not contain any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives. They can't be genetically modified or exposed to ionizing radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically altered organisms (GMOs).

The term "organic", as it is commonly known, was first used by Justus von Loig in 1845. He coined the phrase "organisch", which means life-giving, to describe manure's properties. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. Organic is a product that contains only naturally occurring substances, such a proteins, fats, or minerals.

The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. Recent statistics indicate that approximately half of the world’s population eats at least one organic food per day. This percentage continues to rise and is projected to increase by 70%, 80%, or 90% by 2020.

There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Some consumers prefer organic products for the taste. Other people prefer them because organic produce is more nutritious. Still others believe organic farming is better for the environment. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.

Organic foods are usually more expensive than conventional ones, although prices vary depending on countries and regions. The price of organic food is affected by several factors. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. In Europe, for instance, the average price for organic food in Europe is 10% higher than its regular price.

Below is a summary of the major differences between organic food and conventional food.

• Organic produce is free of chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, and growth regulators.
• Organic livestock is fed grasses & grains, not corn and soybean meal.
• Organic milk is only produced from cows that are fed all-natural hay and pasture grasses.
