kfeusse Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I just bought some eggs I had planned on making egg salad for our chruch's soup lunch tomorrow. When I got home a noticed a couple of the eggs had slightly cracked...not enough that the whites were coming out or anything...are they still ok to eat?

momto10blessings Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I would not. Unless I knew they had broken after I bought them ( if I checked them thoroughly for cracks before putting them in my cart). Then I would use them right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 No. Absolutely, positively do not use cracked eggs. You could end up making a lot of people every sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I use slightly cracked eggs all the time. It took some practice for me to learn how to bring eggs home safely in plastic bags stuffed full of them. When I'm buying them in cartons in the US, I always check them at the store, so I wouldn't be bothered to use one that had cracked on the way home. But if I hadn't checked them at the store, and if I were making food for someone else, I probably wouldn't use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoobie Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 No, I wouldn't use a cracked egg. The other whole ones are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the answer to this question but I was sort of hoping that someone would tell me how silly I was for throwing eggs like this away for all of these years....I, too, check them before I buy them...but I don't normally check the bottoms...and sure enough there were 4 eggs that were slightly cracked on the bottom...I was bummed. Just came back from the store where I bought more eggs for tomorrow. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I only use cracked eggs if they were cracked a few hours previously. We grow our own. so if the egg cracked as the kids were collecting it then I would bake something with it later in the day. otherwise I would chuck it out. I am a person who doesn't refrigerate eggs cracked eggshell = no barrier against bacteria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
