What do you put in empty muffin cups when baking?

If you've used all your batter but still have empty cups remaining in the tin, fill each empty cup with a few tablespoons of water. This will promote even baking, and can help keep the tin from warping as the muffins bake.

Why is my egg spongy?

When eggs are overcooked, the protein web becomes so tight and retains so little water that the egg white becomes rubbery and the yolk chalky, a textural difference due to fat interspersed with the protein web in the yolk. To better understand how heat affects eggs, think of a fried egg.

Can you cook eggs too fast?

Since eggs cook so fast, you want to move them around in the pan to create billowy curds. Leaving them there on the heat untouched while you do something else means a crust will form quickly on the bottom. By definition, crusts are dry. You definitely don't want dry scrambled eggs.

What heat do you cook bacon on?

Cook on medium-low heat—you want to render a lot of the fat out of the bacon and this takes time. Don't rush it. Turn bacon occasionally with tongs so bacon cooks evenly. Since most pans don't heat evenly, you should move the bacon to a different part of the pan when flipping it.

Can eggs explode in the oven?

Simply heat the oven (325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and place eggs inside muffin tins and bake for around 30 minutes. Once the eggs come out, they should go straight into an ice bath to cool. The slow heating of the eggs in the oven should also mean they won't explode.
