My Buttons are Magic! Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well I think the lion means "this egg doesn't have salmonella, unless it does and you try to sue us, in which case we never said it had it." Basically, they've been checked over, and probably washed, but there's a tiny chance that there could be salmonella actually inside the egg. If this is the case, you could get ill if the egg isn't cooked through, but you can also kill it by heating the egg at about 42 celcius for a while, which is hot enough to kill the bacteria but not coagulate the egg proteins - good to do if you're poaching eggs or something. And another precaution is to crack the egg on a flat surface rather than on the rim of a cup, as using a rim can force bacteria from the surface into the contents of the egg. The other thing is that bacteria tend to be confined to the white of fresh eggs, so if that's solid you're okay, but in older eggs the yolk membrane degrades a bit so you can find salmonella there too. But salmonella isn't really that bad if you do actually get it - it's like norovirus or something, fever and D&V for a couple of days. I've had it before, albeit mildly, and it wasn't much of a problem - it only is if you're old, infirm, pregnant etc. Anyway, I'll shut up about eggs now, I'm a bit obsessed with culinary science applied to them. Cocoa butter, milk and sugar - they don't add cocoa powder, unlike in normal chocolate. Which means that yes, it doesn't count as chocolate. hens that make lions eggs are apparenly injected against salmonella! thats what it says on my packet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 hens that make lions eggs are apparenly injected against salmonella!thats what it says on my packet Quite probably, but the injection is only 99% efficient or something. Good to know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caris Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Better late than never, here is my attempt. Tasted good, looked fab, but for some reason i felt really sick eating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Better late than never, here is my attempt. Tasted good, looked fab, but for some reason i felt really sick eating it. Probably because it's a microwaved cake. I've had microwaved hot sort of cakes from supermarkets before and they're just not like real cake. I'd try this but most of the pictures look kind of disgusting, plus it's just as easy to make a real cake except you come back to the cooking appliance 30 minutes later instead of 3. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, although in my case I think it was just because it was an awful lot of cake to eat in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the best 21 Year Old would have such a surface in their kitchen. About the whole taste of the cake thing. It did taste a bit different to normal cake, it was much thicker. I didn't have that much though as as soon as my family heard I'd baked a cake they were all over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Made it at Aunt's house. There was an awful lot of cake which surprised me. Tasted pretty good. Shall have to do it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
