Did you know? Washing eggs right! #eggs #CookingHacks #facts #interesting #DidYouKnow

So there's this whole conversation where people say you never wash your eggs, right? Because eggs have a bloom on them, >> right? >> And so the bloom on the outside of the egg is protecting the inside of the egg from all the bacteria sitting on the bloom. And so you can leave your eggs on your counter for up to 8 weeks and they're fresh. But before you use them, you want to wash off all that bacteria before you crack it into the pan or use it for baking or whatever, right? And so the enzyme wash will actually break down all that bacteria and bad stuff and so you don't crosscontaminate between your eggs, grabbing bread, grabbing other things. It's like using a soap, which is not soap, to clean your eggs. Here's something a lot of people don't think about. There's up to 80% of backyard homegrown eggs have either salmonella or ecoli on the outside of your eggs. It doesn't come from the inside. It's literally sitting on the outside on the bloom, which is what the bloom is protecting your eggs from, >> right? >> And so people don't think of that sort of number. And for years, of course, people wash their eggs with sponges or rags or whatever, and that bacteria ends up just sitting on your sink with that. The good egg wash.
