Re: raw egg


I've recently started buying eggs from a farm and they are always dirty. It
is a toss up IMO as whether I want an egg that is washed by some egg farm
because I've read different stories about the efficacy of washing eggs, and
also the harmful effects from washing them.

I generally don't wash the eggs, but am very tidy about breaking them,
washing up around where they've been, and I do make sure they reach the
temperature of 173º. Tonight I brought home two dozen -- two very large
ones had a little broken area where the carton broke them -- I hated to
throw them out, but knew that I must. I'm sure they were this morning's
eggs and they had been in an ice chest all day, but I understand this is the
prudent thing to do.

Dee, I, too, get eggs from a farmer who has free run. That stuff you
see on them is chicken sh-- :) and definitly needs to be washed
before the egg is cracked.<G> There is a natural protective fillm on
the egg shell so I leave mine in the covered carton or container until
ready to use, then wash with soap and water with a bit of chlorox and
rinse well, dry off then crack or boil the egg. Use them for any
purpose, cooked or raw.
