/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Huh... I have unwashed eggs. But when I get a dozen I put them in the fridge. I wash them before I use them because they are kind of gross but I understand the bloom protects the egg but if you're going to crack it within a couple hours at the most then yeah.

Oh yea and I am an Amerifat. I think it's fucked up that it's illegal to sell unwashed eggs. But I hate store bought eggs anyways, they taste like watery anemic shit.

What I really wanna know is why is it legal to sell raw meat and raw eggs but you can't sell raw milk?

Ok lol

>>15606458
why dont europeans refrigerate seemingly anything?

Why are you literally obsessed with what’s in my fridge?
I could not give less of a fuck what’s in yours.

>dude just buy eggs covered in feces.
>the feces creates a protective film of shit around the eggs so no germs can get inside except for the fecal germs already on it.

>>15606540
Because Europeans are obsessed with us and have a massive inferiority complex

the europeans are memeing us! DO SOMETHING!

>>15606458
>In Europe we keep eggs at room temperature. They last a month.
Europe here. No we don't.

>>15606611
Turkey isn't Europe nigger

>>15606458
you answered your question op are you gay by the way?

>But I hate store bought eggs anyways, they taste like watery anemic shit.
Just spend an extra few dollars and get the good organic ones. If you eat 2 or 3 at a time the increased cost is minimal compared to the increased quality

i don't eat plain eggs, I just cook with them.

In the 90s my parents had this amazing brown ceramic hen. You lifted off the top part and inside the bottom was where they kept eggs. They also had a butter dish that was kept on the work top and a wooden bread bin as well.

I miss those days.

>>15606653
You can still buy egg hens

>>15606540
Because Yanks are literally the only people in the world who refrigerate their eggs and it's a mystery why

>>15606507
because they call it the icebox and so think only ice can go inside of it

>>15606507

...in their hobbit sized homes

i answered this before in the warm beer thread and got accused of samefagging like 10 times despite only posting in that thread once. anyway: they literally don't own refrigerators. it's that simple. Hard to believe, but it's true.

I refrigerate my eggs and I'm European.
I haven't met anyone who didn't put their eggs in the fridge. Maybe it's a rural thing.
Let's be friend America :)

Why are you posting that on /ck/ of all places?

What an odd thing to complain about. Is keeping food in the fridge difficult for Euros? It seems like such a non-issue that if it saves you even a quick wash when you use an egg, it already kinda evens out.
Is it like butter where you want it warmer so can crack an egg on your toast or some shit? I don't get it

>>15606638
>just buy store bought eggs that have the bullshit organic certification.

No.
I have 12 laying ducks and my neighbor has free range chickens, she sells me a dozen for 2 bucks and her eggs taste better than the 7 dollar pasture raised vital farms eggs I used to be cucked into buying at the supermarket.
I don't even get those anymore because A: It's winter, she's a small operation, her hens production drops in winter. Understandable.

B: I HAVE DUCKS. They give me eggs, every day, for free. I got 4 eggs today, I will probably get 4 tomorrow (production is low due to winter and my ducks are still young, when the weather warms up I am expecting to get between 6-12 eggs a day). I have 6 dozen eggs in my fridge, and that's even with giving family a half dozen here and there as gifts.

Also organic doesn't make a difference in egg quality. They are still confinement birds who don't get enough vitamin D or forage. The only difference is they have organic feed and aren't on antibiotics. Neither of these things make any difference in the animals welfare or the taste of their eggs.
Why settle for less when I have the best?

>>15606797
Posting what?

fucking SNEED

>>15606848
get a pig to fatten up and slaughter. feed it the excess eggs

>>15606848
>They give me eggs, every day, for free.
>free
How much do you pay for duck feed every month? I'm sure you're easily breaking even vs. buying organic eggs, but I'm curious.

>>15606903
Would.

>>15606458
this is almost as stupid as defending bagged milk

>>15606458
>> but what if the shell is dirty WAAAAAAAH t. LE 56% FACE
You ever notice how Americans don't complain about foreigners nearly as much as foreigners complain about Americans?

>>15606957
8 dollars a month on feed. Less in the summer when I give them bugs and garden greens. Once I start selling all I need to do is sell maybe 2 dozen to cancel out the feed costs.

Sure, its not free-free. But considering at their peak I can get a dozen in less than 2 days I mean... It works itself out.

>>15606704
No, the reason for this, as retard OP described, aka you, is the washing. You are trying to ask about the purpose of WASHING the eggs, which is admittedly indefensible.

>>15606507
Their euroqueer commie union won't let them.

>>15606458
>asks question
>answers own question
>screams
Bongs should be rangebanned from /ck/

>>15606458
Because washed eggs have to be kept in the fridge (US) and unwashed don't, but they have to be more sanitary to begin with (EU). Both ways, if properly followed, are perfectly valid to prevent foodborne illnesses regarding eggs.

If unwashed eggs are put in a fridge, there's no turning back: they have to stay there, tho.

I DON LIKE THA WUN!

If you keep your eggs in the refrigerator you are a mutt

>>15608531
This guy is right.

I'm American and I don't keep my eggs in the fridge

What are you talking about literally everyone here stores eggs in fridge, including shops.

I can recall this aussie chef declaring that eggs kept in the fridge door holders were negatively affected by the warm air every time the door opened. So he keeps them in the back... but it's total codswallop.

He was right about garlic crushers though, fuck slicing sticky garlic.

>>15606458
i'm from europe and we put them in the fridge you nasty europoor
