how do i wash an egg for the incubator?

[rebelcowboysnb]

The hot water is to make the liquid in the egg expand an push any trash in the pores of the egg out. If you use cold it will contract the liquid in the egg sucking any trash on the egg in to the pores an in to the egg.

There only in the hot water a few minutes so cooking is not an issue.
