Ziggy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Something odd happened today... I cooked an omelette for my kids... the raw eggs looked totally fine... I'm sure about it cause my second daughter, whom the chooks belong to, cracked and weighed and analysed each egg separately and very closely... yet when I cooked the omlette, the end product was green.... That never happened to me before, with bought or home eggs, and I'm a bit puzzled... the taste seemed normal to me.....though from the look of it my kids refused to eat it, saying it tasted odd... What could make eggs turn green while cooking? Did I somehow overcook them or something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 No idea! I've heard of green yolks from eating certain things, but not yellow turning to green when cooked! Did you take a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treekeeper Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Did you use olive oil? that can colour eggs up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 So can a copper pan if the lining has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Ooooh I see.... Yes I think I used olive oil, but I always do... and the omelettes don't always turn green... it was a bigger than usual omelette, so cooked it for longer, in olive oil, so maybe that's what happened.... The pan wasn't copper, but I did think of copper at the time cause the green colour was just like that green that develops just around a copper coin hidden in a sponge cake... Thanks, I'll keep an eye on this in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
