Garga Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 ...I'm eating the raw Oatmeal Cookie dough. Livin' on the edge. It's just so much better raw than baked. Pure bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 You don't know how hard it is for me to not lick the bowl these days when we make brownies or whatever the case may be. But I don't. My kids never get to do it. I always have "salmonella" in the back of my head. But it seems like such a intrinsic part of childhood for them to have to miss out on :P Do most of you all do it anyway, or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylianna Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Mmmmm... cookie dough... I've baked a lot of cookies this week, and have tested every batch before baking. Then again... Maybe that is why my tummy has been flopping around? Note to self: Make cookie dough w/o eggs for us to eat one day.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have no problem eating the homemade raw cookie dough but I am very particular about my eggs. :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I personally eat my eggs really runny all the time..... but I don't let my kids eat raw dough or lick the beaters when I make batter. I have a strange sense that I am somehow immune after all those years of eating raw eggs -- highly unscientific, but I have always liked raw eggs/meat/fish. I just don't have the confidence to feed them to my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 We always eat dough and lick the beaters and bowl. I let everyone have their share, too. We also eat uncooked pies with raw eggs in it. In fact, we had them yesterday at our Christmas party. Pioneer Woman's french silk pie with 4 raw eggs in it and another pie I make with 2 raw eggs in it. I try to remember to warn other people when serving the pie so they can make their own decision though. No one's ever turned the pie down. The only time I've had food poisoning that I know of (as in puke/diarrhea at the same time) was from lunch at Disneyland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 If you're using organic foods to make that dough, I really don't think you have to worry about evil germs that much, LOL..... I still make a mean hollandaise that uses raw eggs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I used to eat it, but don't now. At first I figured I ate it so much as a kid, it was just another one of those overblown fear-mongering things. But when I looked it up, some articles said that in fact there really didn't use to be as much of a salmonella problem years ago (when we ate as kids) as there is now. (Which figures, considering the decreasing quality of food processing.) Even then I still would eat it. THEN I read about how salmonella poisoning can trigger in some people some long-term immune response that resembles arthritis and can plague people for years. Doesn't happen often, but I just figured that was not worth the risk for one spoon (or more even!) of cookie dough. Especially not for my kid. It does grieve me, though...

kitten18 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Oatmeal cookie dough is the BEST! If I could buy pasteurized eggs here, I would buy them just for making dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
