About as neurotic as I get when it comes to eggs is checking them in the
carton at the market for cracks.

The only real major concern would be salmonella tainted and undercooked
eggs.

A valid concern.

BTDT.

I always check for damaged eggs. Most of the time at the store I shop
at, there is a carton put aside for cracked eggs.

We exchange them from a carton for intact ones.


Om,

Well then, I'm MORE neurotic than you! ;) If I find a cracked egg, the
whole carton goes back on the shelf with the lid open and I start over with
a new one.

I don't know if a cracked egg gone unnoticed might also hasten the rotten
egg process?!?

Andy

I don't worry about intact shells unless there is "egg goo" on it!
So long as the shell is intact and clean, it's good to go imho.
