Should eggs be washed before use?

To be on the safe side, you can cook eggs thoroughly, for example by boiling. The intense heat kills bacteria on the shell, and the inner membrane prevents water from penetrating.

Whether or not to wash eggs is ultimately a personal decision that depends on individual preferences and the eggs' origin. Eggs from a trusted supplier can be used unwashed, provided the relevant hygiene regulations are observed.

Enjoy your egg!
