How does everyone sanitize their eatin' eggs?

I agree we never wash ours and very seldom do we have a soiled egg if so a paper towel and some water will clean it up.

We don't wash our eggs either.....

No washing eggs here (I have enough washing with dishes and clothing and dirty kids!)

I saw on food network that salmonella (sp?) is carried on the shell and that eggs should be washed just prior to cracking it open and not before.

 

[Break an Egg]

I heard that if you wash with colder water than the egg is, it can cause bacteria to enter the egg.

If I am making mayonnaise (or any other raw or less-than-fully-cooked egg product, if I were unlazy enough to make 'em) I will wipe with a hot wet cloth any egg with any suspicion of pooeyness, and I try to be a little extra careful when cracking it.

Anything else, I figure any minor bacterial load is going to get cooked, so I do not worry about it.

JMHO,

Pat

Personally, I crack my eggs into the pan very carefully and then wash my hands. No egg washing. Not even the wal-mart eggs...

She says she doesn't eat eggs from a chicken.............WHAAAA?
She says she gets them at Wal-mart.

Um, and where does she think WalMart gets them? Walmart Egg Elves in their workshop?

Janet, I have to tell you it does go against my grain to put a potential Suede baby in the fridge as an eating egg, LOL.​

Walmart eggs??

They must come from china... LOL

 

[All about the EGG]

I just googled "bloom," and it says when the eggs are washed in production facilities, they are then coated with an edible oil to replace the bloom. I pulled an egg out yesterday, rinsed it with water, and it went into the fridge. How long should it last?
