Episode notes
Chef's Hat Symbolism
- A chef's hat traditionally has 100 folds to represent 100 ways to cook an egg.
- Georges Escoffier expanded this, listing over 200 egg recipes excluding omelets.
Boiling Eggs The "Right" Way
- Anna tried boiling eggs by starting with cold water as advised by M.F.K. Fisher but found peeling took 45 minutes.
- This method caused the shell to stick to the egg white tightly, making peeling difficult.
Gender Bias in Baby Crying
- Men expect baby boys to have deeper cries and perceive high-pitched cries as signs of more pain.
- This bias may cause female babies to receive less attention when crying.
