You should wash with water at least 20 degrees colder than the eggs. That expands the contents and forces bacteria from the pores. If you wash with cold water, the contents contract and suck bacteria into the egg.
Think you meant "warmer."
I only wash right before using, if I'm soft/hard boiling. I use warm water and a scrub brush that's only used for eggs. Otherwise I don't wash. If an egg is so dirty that it needs it I probably would feed it to the dogs, but haven't had that issue before.
Thank you both for the correction. From time to time I make mistakes but the aforementioned is the exact opposite of what I wanted to say. Hope it is just a senior moment but I find it necessary more often to reread before I hit the post button.I hope he meant 20* warmer because that is what I have been doing this whole time...Wash and refrigerate.
Just curious, what happens when the egg cools off, contracts and starts sucking things back into itself?If you are going to wash - yes, it matters.
