Use caution when washing eggs... Avendesora Send a noteboard - 27/12/2011 08:50:37 PM
Egg shells are porous. If you rinse the shell with water colder than the egg, it will cause the pores to constrict and draw any bacteria on the shell into the egg. Hot water will open the pores widely and the same effect can happen. The trick is to use water slightly warmer than the egg. So if your eggs are refrigerated, then the water just out of the tap before the real cold water starts coming out, it'll be fine.

I don't wash my eggs, but I am assuming that people who do may have concerns about bacteria. I thought you might want to know this random info.

*MySmiley*

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.

Did you get your egg separator? Sareitha Sedai - 27/12/2011 04:38:04 PM 1318 Views

Oh. Well it's probably for the best then. Sareitha Sedai - 27/12/2011 05:17:44 PM 1273 Views
Ha! Just make sure you wash your eggs before cracking them. Vivien - 27/12/2011 05:33:52 PM 1295 Views

What? Why would you wash an egg? I've never heard of this. *NM* Tim - 27/12/2011 11:33:57 PM 758 Views
This is news to me too. Nate - 28/12/2011 12:30:00 AM 1340 Views
Ha, don't listen to me, I know nothing about this. Vivien - 28/12/2011 01:36:34 AM 1307 Views
Aha. That makes sense. Nate - 28/12/2011 05:26:47 AM 1403 Views
That's a relief. You can't eat raw egg in this country anyway, so I don't need to change any habits. Tim - 28/12/2011 10:37:47 AM 1212 Views
Is there a law? Nate - 28/12/2011 03:29:39 PM 1309 Views
What I mean is that everybody considers it unsafe to eat raw eggs. Tim - 28/12/2011 06:37:17 PM 1257 Views
I didn't know that. Nate - 28/12/2011 07:54:37 PM 1347 Views
It is suggested in the US that you cook the yolk to solid too. Avendesora - 30/12/2011 11:58:10 AM 1243 Views
That sounds ridiculously over-cautious to me. Tim - 30/12/2011 05:48:56 PM 1282 Views
I love a runny yolk myself. Vivien - 30/12/2011 06:28:49 PM 1078 Views
