COOKING WITH LIGHT…ERRR…LIGHTING WITH COOKWARE. // David E Jackson // A Photographer. Interesting things happen when cabin fever sets in. It’s been a long, cold winter here in Wisconsin with way too much idle time on my hands. Since my wife has returned to teaching full-time, I have found myself with more and more responsibilities around the house aside from taking care of our three little ladies. Take for instance cooking and washing dishes. Although I am no stranger to these seemingly simple household tasks, the frequency of these duties come much more often as of late. So as I was doing the dishes tonight, with my kids counteracting my attempts to maintain a clean house, I thought about the possibilities of using everyday kitchenware to function as off-camera light modifiers. After finding the right lighting set-up for each cooking implement, I was actually surprised at the results.

But as I felt the need to make an egg salad sandwich, my hard boiling experience was about to double! Of course I took this opportunity to make a helpful post about hard boiling an egg. Don’t worry it’s easy. Step 1: Take eggs out of the refrigerator (apparently it is is best if they are a day or two old? Who knew? Step 2: Put the pot on the stove on heat on high, add salt to your water until it tastes salty (this helps strengthen the egg shell or something?). Step 3: After you have let the eggs sit in the hot water for a while (which lets them fully cook), carefully place them into a bowl of cold water to stop the egg from cooking.

Step 4: This is a cheat code. When taking the shell off of a hard boiled egg, I find it works best to gently crack part of the shell, then begin rolling it around in your hand to put pressure around the entire egg.
