Farm fresh eggs; wash or not?

Never had any more trouble peeling a fresh egg than any other. We like baking with duck eggs. Also where are you getting pasteurized eggs?

Here's where an Instant Pot comes in handy. 4 minutes pressure, 4 minutes release, ice water bath and they peel easily.

i found the same thing with the ones i had in the fridge for 6 months, difficult to peel without damaging the egg. i had just assumed it was the type of chicken he raised, very thick shells. it could just be those thin shelled store bought eggs peel better after they gas up a bit
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
@alaskanassasin, You can pasteurize eggs yourself with sous vide. As I recall, 135° for 75 minutes, then ice water bath. No plastic bag or vac sealer required. My memory is a little fuzzy so you might want to look it up to be sure. :)
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

don't wash and don't put it the fridge. nothing like a good farm fresh blood red yoke in the morning unless it's a double yoker!

you took that the wrong way, the double yoker is a bonus. you know it's going to be a good day when you get a twofer -

SV for 20 minute at 194 F followed by ice bath also works well.jtcBoynton said:Try steaming rather than boiling - works much better for peeling. Older eggs also peel better (maybe the pasteurized eggs are older than fresh from the farm or maybe the pasteurization processing may help breakdown the membrane).

There is a great show that recently came on on PBS/Nova on the miracle of the various parts of the egg. I never knew the chick could breathe thru them.NPHuskerFL said:Egg shells are semipermeable so the naughty stuff doesn't enter into the egg itself.

I gathered eggs on both grandparents' farms many times, and know of no way to remove them without the eggs (and your hands) brushing against the hens' breasts. (huh-huh-huh, that's cool!!) 'Specially if the egg's just been laid (as you posted) and still wet.nolaegghead said:I dunt get it, @botch. Do people really eat egg shells?
No, we don't eat the shells. But can you definitely crack an egg into a pan, without ANY ooze touching the outside of the shell? Can you hold your breath long enough to walk thru a measles ward? Do they have measles wards? Is it breakfast time yet?

Rather than wash my eggs I like to sanitize them with an ounce and a half of dry gin.
