A popular method for processing salted eggs in the Brebes is the Pateros method. The salted egg is prepared Pateros style by mixing clay (from ant hills or termite mounds), table salt and water in the ratio of 1:1:2 until the texture of the admixture becomes smooth and forms a thick texture similar to cake batter. The fresh eggs are individually dipped in the admixture, and packed in 150-egg batches in newspaper-lined 10x12x18 inch wooden boxes (often residual boxes of dried fish packing). The whole batch is then lightly wrapped in newspapers to slow down the dehydration process.

The eggs are then stored indoors at room temperature over the next 12 to 14 days to cure. This way the salt works its way into the eggs uniformly in the batch. Curing can last up to 18 days, but that results in very long-lasting red eggs that can have a 40-day shelf life, which is largely unnecessary, as the eggs are stocked and replenished biweekly.

After the two-week curing period, the eggs are hand-cleaned with water and a brush and prepared to be boiled in low heat for 30 minutes. Time is measured from the first moment the water boils and the immersion of the eggs. The 50-egg batch is then wrapped in fish nets for ease of removal from the cookware. The cookware must be large enough to accommodate the batch with a two-inch covering of water.

Chicken eggs may be processed the same way, although up to 10% of the batch can break during the process.

[edit] Cholesterol Content

According to the Health Promotion Board of Singapore, one salted duck egg yolk weighing about 70g contains 359 mg of cholesterol.[citation needed] The recommended cholesterol intake for a healthy diet should be less than 300 mg a day.[citation needed] A single salted egg yolk exceeds the recommended cholesterol intake and if eaten regularly, there might be a greater risk of elevating blood cholesterol level. However, many health experts[who?] in the West and in the rest of Asia believe not all the cholesterol in an egg can be absorbed, thus the actual negative impact is much less, although not established at this time.

Keywords – How to Use the Keys to Make Money Online

Keywords are the fuel that ignites the flame of your online business and will determine how you make money online. Keywords can take you from an online time waster to a money maker over night. Understanding that your business will thrive or just survive based on how effective your keywords are is an understatement.

Ok, maybe I've overstated the importance of keywords or perhaps I haven't stressed it enough. You can have the hippest, fanciest, most informative website on the internet but if you don't have the right keywords in your article marketing or advertising strategy only you, your family and friends will ever see your website.

The following tips and information about keywords might be useful as you develop the most important, critical, make or break part of your online business. Get it right and you may be very successful. Get it wrong and you may be tired, frustrated and broke.

What are Keywords?

Keywords are the words or phrases, an Internet user enters when attempting to search for products or information online. For example, if Ashley wants to find information about power drill products, she will probably go to Google and type in power drill products. The phrase power drill products, is the "keyword" Ashley used to find the information she wanted.

Selecting Keywords

Selecting keywords and keyword phrases can seem simple but once you get started you will realize that it's difficult to choose the right keywords that fall in line with what you are trying to market.

There is a balance you must strike between selecting good keywords that are both relevant and popular. As you can imagine, it's possible to select a very relevant keyword but if no one is searching for it then what's the point right? Just the same, if you have a very popular keyword but it's not relevant you may have visitors but not buyers. The more relevant the keyword is to the product you are marketing, the more likely your website visitor is likely to buy and put cash in your pocket.
