Do you clean your eggs?

While I was cleaning the eggs yesterday, a question came to my mind. Do others actually clean the eggs before storing them in a fridge? Of course, some don't refrigerate their eggs. They will only put them outside. But, before using them, do they clean the eggs?


Why the need of cleaning the eggs? It looks lame to some but crucial to others. Where do eggs come from (same questions for chicken and duck eggs). Correct! The chicken and duck laid them. The eggs come out from the place that their droppings came out. Sometimes, we could see there are still muck/dung on the eggs. Just imagine, when you crack the eggs, the muck would go into the bowl together with your eggs. That's not about it. When you store the eggs in the fridge, the fume of the dung circulates in your fridge and attach to other food that you store. Oh dear! I just cannot imagine eating food with particles of dung on it.


That's the reason why everytime I wanted to store eggs, I will make it a point to clean them thouroughly. I don't want to feed my family with unclean food because the food will settle into the body. Unclean food invites many kinds of diseases which I want to avoid.


I wonder whether those food seller clean the eggs too. Those in restaurants, cakeshops or even food stalls. If they do, Alhamdulillah. If they don't, I guess we have to be tawakkal huh! Of course you may ask them whether they clean the eggs. But, I can expect they would say yes! Otherwise, they may lose customers. I have to agree that some cakeshop operators do clean the eggs before using them. A friend of mine who used to work in her sister cake shop did clean the eggs. Good for them and their customers :).


Well, do you clean your eggs?


By the way, below is the picture of yesterday's food for Iftar. Alhamdulillah, there was not so much leftovers. The girls were asking for Tomyam and they got it. Masak lemak kuning kobis was prepared by the man of the house. I never made masak lemak kuning before so I've no idea of how to prepare it. So, he took the initiative to cook it himself :). Kuih Keria was made for the 2nd time in a week. It turned out better but still so soft.
