| To save energy when boiling eggs on an electric stove-top burner, bring pan to a boil, then turn off heat and set timer for 10 minutes. (Yeah, a smaller pan would've saved even more when boiling just two!) |
With a stand mixer, angel food cakes from scratch are pretty simple. Not quite as easy when standing with a hand mixer for 10 minutes of whipping the egg whites, but I've done it. Even used a hand whisk once to see if I could...boy, did my bicep "feel the burn," but the cake tasted good!
For Mom's favorite angel food cake, I use this Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook recipe, except I do sift together the powdered sugar and flour instead of just stirring them together.
Sun came to see us today & even stayed awhile! Rumor has it we're in for sunny days all weekend. Yea! Hope the Memorial Day weekend sun shines on you as you remember those you love, as well as those you've loved and lost.

You can make your mother feel better by telling her that I once went to bed with eggs boiling on the stove in a Corningware pot. The next morning I awoke to a strangely warm kitchen, a broken Corningware pot on the still-hot burner.
Boiled eggs and their shells, all in smithereens were on the top of my 8 foot cabinets, all over the walls and counters, and permanently glued to the underside of the stove venthood. I took that venthood out eventually to replace it and found evidence of more boiled eggs.
I am sure that their is still evidence now, even 12 or so years later. And, I am a good and attentive cook!
I am also guilty of boiling a lot of things dry but so far touch wood not eggs
I love Angel food cake too! They are light and great in texture! Yummy!
@Practical, LOVE your story! my kitchen disaster involved me trying to get the ketchup down to the neck of the bottle...and getting it on the ceiling instead!
@cathy, touch wood here too!
@FoodGF, me too!!
