Egg CLEANING any suggestions??

[marilyn1954]

I have been cleaning my eggs with the store bought egg solution, is there a CHEAPER product I can use? Maybe dish soap? This $9.00 a bottle is crazy high!! WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSE USING???

I use plain old dish soap. Just a single drop is enough to clean half a dozen eggs.

I just use plain warm water, no soap. So even more cost effective.

For some strange reason, I thought they really had to be cleaned really well with special soap! I have to laugh at myself, probably along with the feed store who sells me this $9.00 bottle of "special solution"

I only wash really dirty eggs. Actually, if I have plenty of eggs. I just boil the soiled ones and feed them back to the girls, shells and all.

Gosh won't that make them want to eat the eggs as they lay them???? I heard that is a chicken figured out it could eat the egg, THEY WOULD

I put them in a big bowl and mash them with a potato masher first. I have never had a problem since they don't se them as eggs. I consider eggs free protein!

I don't wash eggs. The dirty ones get lightly sanded to remove stuff and then I scramble those for the chickens. The eggs that I use for recipes and cooking for us don't really need to be washed, there's nothing on them that might fall off into the pan or bowl.
