How to Unboil an Egg and Other Cooking Odd tidbits

The Evangelical Outpost every week or so list article or blogs that stuff we should see. This week he does it again with Thirty Three Things (v. 50).

One Link tht caught my eye was a article about how you can Uncook a boiled egg!! I did not know such a thing was possible. It is in the UK Guardian papers and it is called -The man who unboiled an egg-He can measure the pressure inside a chip and has worked out how to produce 24 litres of mayonnaise from a single egg. Hervé This, France's most famous chemist - and inspiration to Heston Blumenthal - gives Ian Phillips the strangest cooking tips he's ever heard.

Good Grief. It is a very interesting article so read it all. As to the egg:

He explains that when an egg is cooked, the protein molecules unroll themselves, link up and enclose the water molecules. In order to 'uncook' the egg, you need to detach the protein molecules from each other. By adding a product like sodium borohydride, the egg becomes liquid within three hours. For those who want to try it at home, vitamin C also does the trick.
