Re: Are cracked eggs bad eggs?

With today's prices it's hard to throw out an egg.  However, it just isn't worth the risk of serious illness or even a minor tummyache.

What if the cracked egg passes the floating test?  Would that mean it was safe to eat or just mean it wasn't old?  I think I just answered my own question.

 

Most toss a cracked egg and I have done so also.

I throw all cracked ones out, but that was what my Grandmother taught me.

Same here .... her reason was "bacteria gets in".     Good enough reason for me to toss them.

For convenience, I've been buying crates of eggs instead of a dozen at a time.
The last batch had quite a few cracked eggs.

You can barely see the cracks, but nevertheless, they are there and when I boil the eggs, the white pops out.

Are they still edible?


NO NO NO AND NO !
