At the grading station, all eggs are thoroughly washed and rinsed before being packaged in cartons, so there’s no need to wash them once you bring them home. However, if you prefer to rewash your eggs, here are some simple instructions:
Fill a bowl with water that’s warmer than the egg (but not hot). Dip the egg into the water and gently wipe it clean. Rinse the egg under cool running water, then gently dry it. Refrigerate or use immediately.
It’s important to note that while it might be tempting to disinfect eggs with antibacterial substances, using any kind of cleaner (such as bleach) could be a health risk. These products can penetrate the porous shell and cause contamination.
