The recipe says "refresh under cold running water" after boiling and draining the lentils.

comment Why do yolks break so easily (sometimes)?
Regarding Rachael's advice, I tried this with one egg I bought today and another that has been in my fridge for over a week. They both sank like stones. The older egg was one from the batch where the yolks broke, so this isn't a good indication of how well the yolks are going to hold.

comment Why do yolks break so easily (sometimes)?
I had to search around a bit to figure out why I had never seen anything other than a grade 'A' egg. In Europe it seems we only have two grades 'A' and 'B'. The relevant standards say '(i) Grade A eggs...should have a “normal, clean and undamaged” shell and cuticle; they will not be washed or cleaned before or after grading, and will be not chilled or treated for preservation.” (ii) Grade B eggs, i.e. eggs “which do not meet requirements applicable to eggs in grade A” may only be used by the food or non-food industries.' So that's a relief.

comment What is the most efficient way to squeeze water out of cooked spinach?
This method works well for pre-chopped frozen spinach which I find contains excessive amounts of water once defrosted. I use a ladle to force the water out. Most other methods mentioned on this page work best when you blanch your own spinach and before chopping.
