Renthead Mommy Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I just found out that six or so of my eggs, were cracked on their bottoms and leaking egg white into the carton. I bought the eggs last week. It had to have happened either at the store, or in the bag on the way home. Can I hard boil them? Would they be okay then? Or do I need to throw them out?

KatieJ Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 If you hardboil them, you will loose a lot of the egg out of the bottom. But yes, I would use them in scrambled eggs or baking or something where they will be thoroughly cooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2denj Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I would throw them out! I do toss them when I find them cracked. I truly do not feel they are safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Throw them out, they've had way to much time to be exposed to all sorts of interesting bacteria that you don't want to get :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Toss 'em! You don't know what's been growing in there, or for how long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 If they were from my hens (sometimes, don't ask me why, they stand up as they lay, or they are running about, do a quick squat and take off again), I wouldn't have any concerns and would cook them well. If they were store -bought, I would take them back for an exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I hate it when that happens! I would toss them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
