Room Temparature Eggs

When using eggs in a recipe, it's a good idea to have them at room temperature before adding them to your mix. If you forget to do this, Rose Levy Beranbaum, the goddess of baking and author of, among other works, The Cake Bible, says that you can remedy this by putting your eggs in hot water from the tap and letting them sit for ten minutes. If you don't have ten minutes, it won't be the end of the world to use them cold.
