The change which takes place in the egg albumen is called coagulation. A high temperature for any continued length of time will produce a leathery consistency, which necessitates a longer time for digestion. Soft-cooked eggs digest more quickly and more satisfactorily than do eggs prepared any other way. The margin is slight, however, and the stomach takes care of all kinds of cooked eggs.

The receptacle for cheese should be thoroughly sterilized before new cheese is placed in it. Cheese gives character to many nourishing but indistinct-flavored foods.
