Unsalted butter can be used for any situation – but typically it is ideal for sweet baking and cooking to avoid salt overpowering the flavour of the ingredients. Of course you can use unsalted butter for savoury cooking – you simple add the amount of additional salt as required by the recipe (or to taste).

How to tell if Eggs are bad, rotten or spoiled?
A common question is how to tell if eggs are bad? Although not a perfect test, your senses are usually the most reliable instruments to tell if your eggs have gone bad. To tell if eggs are bad, look at the egg white. The freshest eggs have a cloudy white color to the “white” of the egg and as the egg ages the white becomes more of a clear color (the egg is still fresh). Alternatively, if the white of the egg has a pinkish or iridescent color and also if it has a slight rotten smell when cracked, then the egg has gone bad. If you open an egg and smell something rotten, be sure to throw that egg away.
There are, of course, certain health risks associated with spoiled eggs including the very dangerous Salmonella and E-Coli strains of bacteria (which cannot be seen), so remember to always practice food safety and enjoy your eggs well cooked and prior to the eat by dates suggested above.
A quick and fun test for egg freshness is to pop an egg in a bowl of water, a fresh egg will stay at the bottom of the bowl while older eggs float because of the large air cell that forms in its base.
