Should we be washing our eggs before we crack them open? CrowdScience answers this and other egg-stremely intriguing questions about chickens and eggs.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 bbc.in/3VyyriM
Should you wash your eggs? Well believe it or not, there is quite an international debate about this question from CrowdScience listener Susan. In Canada, where Susan grew up, commercially sold eggs are washed before they reach stores, whereas in the UK, where she is now living, they are not. So what is best to avoid contamination?
It’s one of a number of egg-themed questions that CrowdScience tries to crack in this episode. One of our presenters, Marnie Chesterton, heads over to Susan’s home in London to cook some eggs and explore other egg cooking questions from our listeners, such as what is the science behind frying an egg without it sticking to the pan, and why are some boiled eggs harder to shell than others?
Meanwhile, this episode’s other presenter, Anand Jagatia, explores questions about eggs after they have hatched. He investigates a case of curious chicken behaviour sent in by listener Laurie, as well as working out how a cuckoo knows it’s a cuckoo when it’s been raised in another bird’s nest.
Presented by Marnie Chesterton and Anand Jagatia
Produced by Jonathan Blackwell for BBC World Service
Featuring: Dr Vincent Guyonnet, Dr Valérie Lechevalier, Dr Siobhan Abeyesinghe and Dr Ros Gloag

It's not necessary or recommended for consumers to wash commercially packaged eggs, and it may actually increase the risk of contamination because the wash water can be "sucked" into the egg through the pores in the shell. When the chicken lays the egg, a protective coating is put on the outside by the hen. Unwashed eggs can sit on your kitchen counter at room temperature for a couple of weeks and they'll still be edible.

For 21:00 - the best solution for easy peeling of the eggs, is to add a natural base to the boiling water - such as baking soda or vinegar.😊

If it's got brown and yellow stuff on the outside you should probably wash it. 😅 Aren't nonstick coatings made with PFAS? You could put some salt and vinegar in the wash water, and replace it often. Also a small amount of bleach is OK is you don't mind spots on your clothes. 😅Good tip on boiling eggs! That's why people traditionally boil eggs when they're getting on, not just to preserve them.

@phoenixkali Жыл бұрын

I raise chickens and when they're laying every day in the summeri keep shells to put in the oven and crumble fine in their chicken feed. It makes their shells super strong which means the pores in the shell take longer to form, thereby they last longer!

@mubizz80 Жыл бұрын

And this too may lead to hatching difficulties if the egg shell cannot easily be broken by the chick's tender beak.

This has long been a contentious issue with the British, but is not even on the radar of interest for Canadians or Americans. They are quite happy putting their washed eggs in the fridge. I have heard that even if eggs have not been washed, refrigeration will keep them fresh longer.

Firstly, the question posed should have been: Should we wash store- bought eggs before storing them in the fridge? Well, since they can be stored in the cartons they came in, no need. But should we wash them before we crack them open? Well, yes, of course! You don't want all that muck falling into your egg, do you?!

Chicken breeds vary tremendously as they have been domesticated for a very long time ( think of dog breeds). There are two main types - heavy breeds which are used for meat or dual purpose meat and eggs. Light breeds are used for egg production as they don't have the musculature of the meat breeds. However the power to weight ratio of the heavy breeds is poor , and they can only fly up a few feet as mature birds. Extreme heavy breeds like Cornish Game (called Indian Game in the UK ) need low perches. Game breeds like Old English large fowl and bantams descend from stock used for cock fighting and hence are athletic and well able to perch in trees.

How can anyone with their right mind even slightly believe that a mere series of BLIND and RANDOM coincidences could eventually turn a fu***ng "slime" (yolk& egg white) into a FULL functioning bird?! 😑A beautiful bird with complex eyes, a hard& sharp beak, a beating heart, lungs to breathe, a brain to analyze danger& balance motion, beautiful feathers to keep its body warm, symmetrical well-balanced legs to both walk and flee danger when necessary, and the list can easily go on and on with so many other astonishing organs along with their genius and meticulous inter-connections... ALL that from what appears to be a "dumb" "slime" AND SO it is only one of the countless evidences of the mighty all-knowing GOD who created everything in this universe AND made them so PERFECT it's outright IMPOSSIBLE for BOTH our brains AND hearts to deny his existence AND glory!
