DO YOU WASH & REFRIGERATE YOUR EGGS?-

[ValerieJ]

I sterilize my eggs and refrigerate them. I normally have around 150 eggs in my fridge at all times.

How do you sterilize an egg?

 

[novastar]

No and no! I used to wash right before use but then just got lazy! LOL
However, I do have ducks eggs and they tend to be a little dirtier than chicken. But still, only if they are soiled, I use a dry rag and wipe them or a quick rinse under the faucet right before use!
All eggs stay on my counter

You can buy stuff for it, I forgot the brand we use. We put a little bit in a gallon jug, then put a little of the gallon jug in a
big bowl and toss the eggs in there for 15 minutes, take them out and dry them, then put them in the fridge.

I think that's what I use for the broken egg soiled eggs called Egg Wash.

Shocking but true, in Europe there are a lot of youtube videos of people hatching chicks out of supermarket eggs, just for fun! Some rooster did something! Some of them are really big chain supermarkets as well. And also in Europe, every fridge comes with an egg tray. I don't buy eggs anymore but when i did they went in the fridge. My own eggs are in my pantry now because I know how fresh they are. It never crossed my mind to wash eggs though, so never did it. Do rinse the poop off though before I crack one.

Hi @penny1960

I believe what @CuckooTheCrazyChicken might be referring to is Manna Pro Egg Cleanser - it has Water, Yeast, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate as its ingredients and a person asked,
"Does this remove the bloom? Does this still protect from bacterial contamination getting into the egg?"

Manna Pro states, "No, it does not remove the bloom. Your eggs will still be protected from bacterial contamination getting into the eggs since it does not remove the bloom."

I have never used the product before, have seen it carried at TSC, but others who have said they like the product rather than the wipes Manna Pro also makes. Only one person decided to stop using it because of the scent left behind on her hands.

I believe I've seen something similar at TSC
