We found it just now, must have been laid yesterday... It is slightly cracked because of the freezing, but the membrane looks fine inside -the question is can it be eaten?

I was thinking of giving it to the dogs, but husband said ask them BYC folks who know everything....

So, what say you all??
 
huh, well, we had a similar egg yesterday. hairline crack, membrane intact. I let it thaw, the shell seemed to close up well, and we cooked it this am.


I will let you know later if my husband (the eater) becomes violently ill or anything.

if the membrane were ruptured we would not eat it.

I asked this recently and was told that the danger is in the bacteria being able to enter the egg through the crack. I would not eat eggs that are cracked. I'd cook and feed to the animals. I do have eggs that freeze, although not to the cracking point, that I do eat daily. No difference in taste or texture.
 
If they are cracked I will feed them to dog's or chickens, but in the winter if the egg was cold enough to freeze then I would not worry about a hairline fracture.
 
If it's frozen bacteria should not be a concern until after it thaws again. If you can use it immediately I'd eat it. I wouldn't store that one though. Thaw it and either eat it or feed it back out right away.
 
UUmmm-Doesn't frying kill bacteria? Ditto boiling? Might not want to try it sunny side up....

Thanks guys, this is great I have been having a lot of issues with frozen eggs being up here in Canada, eh!! The dogs usually have been getting them but I might starting frying them up for my homestyle McMuffin!! LOL

Thank YOU
