Quirky quirks

I wash eggs with dishwashing liquid before cracking them in case a fragment of it drops into the bowl. I can't get past the idea of where the egg has passed through on its way to being laid and arrives in my kitchen without having been cleaned.

What's your quirky quirk?

Have you ever thought what might have been all over the meat packages you put in your fridge? If so do you wash them too? And the cucumber?

I do. I wipe down almost everything before I put them in the fridge.

The reason I mentioned the eggs is because that's one the I have yet to come across from anyone else.

Did you know that by washing (especially rubbing) eggs, you will simply push any bacteria on the outside onto the inside because the shell is very permeable. It has to be to allow gas exchange for a chick. As a former keeper of hens, we were always told not to wash them.

Walking down the only road I've ever known!

Oh yes. Thanks. I'll be more specific. I don't wash the eggs immediately when I get them home. I have a bowl of water with anti-bacterial washing up liquid and drop the eggs into it for about a minute before I crack them immediately thereafter.

In your opinion, does this do what you've mentioned. If it does, then I'll need to change to anti-bacterial wipes.

if you ever get the chance to get eggs from a egg farm.. ask for the dirty ones .. they probably would just have to throw them away

Good point. That would be a waste for no reason. Thanks, I will.

That actually makes sense! I can see a new quirk developing in me.

If you use them straightaway then the amount of bacteria pushed through will be minimal, but using a wipe or anything similar would still have the same effect. Any application of water and/or wiping will cause some bacteria to be pushed into the egg due to the permeability of the shell. Obviously I'd say there's no need to do it, but each to their own

I see...food for thought. Perhaps I ought to get a UV light oven instead. So many uses for one really.

I am terrible at cracking eggs. A piece will always fall into it, which is not such a big issue if I cooked them but for things that don't require cooking, it makes a little nervous. Of course, I realise the irony of it because eating a dish with raw eggs is probably a million times more risky.
