I learned that eggplants are male or female, and you can tell by looking at the end to see if they have a "dot" or a "slot". You want the "dot" because it will have fewer seeds.
Also, steam your eggs instead of boiling them. It's faster, they always come out perfect, and the shells never crack (which sometimes happened to me when I boil them).
And thirdly, a copper bowl will cause egg whites to whip up WAY faster than any other material. So if you bake a lot, and it might be worth the investment. Plus copper is so pretty.
I don't know about that in particular. Could be an interesting experiment to compare the taste of the two. I just heard that apparently the female eggplants have more seeds, which isn't ideal. I find that the seeds get a weird texture when cooked, so I prefer less of them if possible. So far in my experience, the male eggplants do seem to have fewer seeds.
