Re: Moldy Egg

Hey folks!

First of all, I am loving this forum... been spending a lot of time on here researching different recipes and such.  

I have a slight problem and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered it before?

I recently moved into a new house that has an open back deck (my old house's deck was covered). Expecting that my eggs were going to be exposed to the elements, I purchased the Egg Covers from my local retailer. I have both the Large and Small versions of the BGE. Generally,  I use the large more and the small ends up sitting unused. In any case, I went to use the small last week and it was covered with mold inside! 

I was able to get rid of it by lighting up the egg and burning it around 900-1000 degrees with the assistance of a hair dryer. Is there any way to prevent this from happening again short of covering my back deck?  

Thanks in advance!!!

I cover my Egg tightly, and never have mold issues.  I think it's 'cause I leave the bottom vent open (screen closed) so it can breathe.

Thanks guys! I had never thought to leave the vent open...

If it's going to sit for a while, make sure you burn off any food particles/grease from the last cook.  Thats where your mold is going to start.
