Tip of the Day - Warming Butter and Eggs Quickly

by Sarah Christine, Posted Dec 22nd 2008 @ 12:30PM

If you can't wait an hour for butter and eggs to come to room temperature on their own, here's what you can do.

Cut butter into 1- tablespoon pieces and then place in a bowl wrapped in a warm damp kitchen towel. If you have to, and only as a last resort, place on a plate and microwave at 10 percent power for 1 minute, test, and continue to microwave as needed.

Eggs are even easier to warm, just put whole eggs in a small bowl of warm water (about 110 degrees) for about 5 minutes.

Say you want scrambled eggs for breakfast - when you wake up, just slip a couple of eggs and a knob of butter into one (or both) of your armpits. Then do a bit of jogging on the spot - arms held tightly against your sides, of course.

After a few minutes of jogging, stand in a frying pan and lift your arms.
