With the high price of eggs right now, it can be disheartening to open the carton at home and see that one or two of the eggs have cracked – either in transit on the way back from the grocery store, or from some unknown cause in the fridge.
But what can be done with cracked eggs? Is all hope lost?
An egg expert shared some “eggspertise” on the subject.
“Basically, it comes down to when the egg cracked,” Lisa Steele, the author of “Fresh Eggs Daily” and a Maine-based backyard chickens expert, told Fox News Digital.
Steele said she “wouldn’t use an egg that I found cracked in a carton I had bought in the store,” as a consumer has no idea how long it has been sitting there broken.
It is also important to check eggs for any cracks before purchasing.
The shell of an egg, along with the egg’s membrane, protect the egg from harmful bacteria, such as salmonella.
