Sounds like paranoia to clean them. Never heard of that.

How often and how much exactly is the outer shell touching your food?

Paranoia? Probably.

But we have eggs that have chicken st on them. (Not covered, but a spot here and there is plenty to make me squeamish). I'm not eager to be handling these, nor keeping them around the kitchen, without washing, but apparently the world has figured this out, so I'm honestly curious what they do.

How often do you clean your hands after touching your eggs.

When handling raw meat, I always clean my hands and separate the working surfaces. For eggs, I don't.

  • I rely on my immunesystem here. I trained it all my life. (I do separate chicken though)
