I think this has been asked before but a search wasn't bring anything up...

 

Should/can you wash the eggs if they are a little mucky?

[Egluntyne]

Wipe them with a little damp kitchen paper.

 

Not a good idea to submerge them...but if you do, it is best to do it in water that is around blood heat and not cold.

 

Cold water makes the inner membrane shrink away from the shell, allowing bacteria to enter, whereas warm water does the opposite.

Thanks Egluntine. Do I need to though? Hygeine wise I know I should wash my hands after handling them but I'm not 100% I need to wash the eggs.

[Egluntyne]

I only wash them if they are very mucky.

 

I haven't killed anyone yet.....as far as I know!
