Need to beat eggs quickly?  Here’s how you do it in less than ten seconds.  Seriously – it really beats (haha!) beating eggs with a fork or whisk, and is especially quick for making scrambled eggs – just make sure you add a little bit of milk to your mixture.

All you need is a jar with a lid.  I use Ziploc Twist ‘n Loc Containers which are available at your local grocery store.

1. Break the eggs and add them to the jar.  Make sure you leave some room for air in the jar.
2. Screw the lid tight.
3. Shake vigorously for ten seconds and voila!  Beaten eggs with air bubbles.

So you’ve probably watched a cooking show and wondered how the chefs flip the stir fry in the pan with one hand.  Well, you can learn how to do it too, with a little practice of course… I did!

Here’s a video from Ming Tsai that teaches you how.  I would recommend using uncooked pinto beans (or a bean similar in size) if you want to practice indoors, because you may screw up a few times and have a bunch of beans to pick up.  Speaking of which, don’t use rice, despite what Mr. Tsai recommends, because you’ll need to break out the vacuum if you mess up.  Better yet, try this outdoors.

Have fun!

Let us know in the comments if you have any other tips on how to do this.

This one’s from the Food Wishes blog.    This is a great how-to video on how to crack that egg with one hand, freeing up the other hand to whisk or thumb through the recipe book!  This will be a great time saving feature for you whether you’re making scrambled eggs in the morning or baking a cake.

You’ll need two golf balls (or balled up aluminum foil) and quarter to practice.
