In the latest episode of our monthly Athletes in the Kitchen series, Coach Chris and Chef John from The Fueling Edge, our local healthy meal service, talk about how to cook the perfect egg.

We talk about:

• How to purchase "good" eggs, including whether the color of the egg affects the nutritional value and what size and grade are ideal to use for different applications
• How to cook the perfect hard boiled egg, including step-by-step instructions (tip: get a good kitchen timer like this one and be sure to use "older" eggs)
• How to make deviled eggs a little healthier, including ideal seasonings and a recipe
• The secret to making an awesome fried egg, including what type of pan and silicone spatula you should use, like this one
• Tips to keeping non-stick cookware in great shape, including how to wash and store them. Here's a great non-stick pan that's free of certain chemicals. 
• Secrets to the perfect scrambled egg 
• How to avoid frittatas from sticking to a cast iron pan (and important heat tips), including ideas for flavor combinations. 
• How to avoid making muffin frittatas overly soupy from adding veggies
• Why you should brush your mushrooms instead of washing them PLUS a super cool trick on how to cook them so your egg creations come out just right (tip: balsamic goes great with mushrooms)
• Some bonus tricks to great hard boiled eggs
• Why you shouldn't be afraid to use a high quality oil to help your eggs from sticking to the pan (we recommend avocado oil or grapeseed oil for a neutral oil, but a combo of grass fed butter and oil helps too)
