Don't eat until you see the whites of the eggs.

Re: Egg Recall
Thanks for all the info. I only eat hard-boiled or well scrambled eggs that I make. No mayo or miso soup or Rocky-style egg pounding for me. So since I only eat mine cooked, I guess I didn't think about all the ways you eat them uncooked.

Re: Egg Recall
Sure, you could cook your eggs thoroughly, but that takes away the pleasure of eating eggs, at least where I’m concerned. I like my eggs runny. And I think a lot of other people do, too.
Besides what Scrivener noted, there’s also the traditionally prepared Cesar Salad, where a raw egg (or coddled egg) is added to the dressing. There’s also the traditionally made hollandaise, mayonnaise, or aioli sauce, where oil or butter is incorporated into egg yolks that are just barely heated to the point where they don’t get scrambled.
For me, I like to drop in a raw egg to miso soup and let it poach a while, then break it and let the egg yolks mix with the soup. I also like to cook (and eat) French-style omelettes, which is slightly runny.
There’s always the threat of salmonella in eggs. This was true before this massive egg recall, and will remain so after this passes. So I think you just have to be aware of it, use caution when necessary, and decide for yourself. For me, I choose not to be afraid of eggs and enjoy them when I can.

Re: Egg Recall
Excerpted from an L.A. Times FAQ:
Can't I just cook the eggs to kill the bacteria?
Yes. "Eggs if fully cooked don't pose a threat. But the problem is a lot of people like to eat their eggs sunny side up or make hollandaise sauce," Jeff LeJeune, an associate professor at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center at Ohio State University and an expert in salmonella contamination, said. "We want to reduce the threat as much as possible."
How can I be sure that cooked eggs are free of salmonella?
Both the egg white and egg yolk should be firm throughout and have no visible liquid remaining.
Are pasteurized eggs free from salmonella?
Pasteurized eggs are safe, LeJeune said. "I highly recommend pasteurized eggs for people at risk for severe illness from salmonella or for people who are healthy and choose to use raw eggs in ice cream or hollandaise sauce," he said. Liquid egg products sold in cartons are also pasteurized and free from salmonella.
Are other eggs safe?
There's always some threat of salmonella poisoning from raw eggs.
Can I get sick from handling raw eggs contaminated with salmonella?
Yes, so wash your hands with soap and water after handling raw eggs. It's rare to develop salmonella poisoning from handling eggshells alone.

Re: Egg Recall
I put a raw egg over veggies and rice all the time. The rice does some cooking, but not enough to kill the salmonella if the people on TV are to be believed. And my preferred preparation for a breakfast egg is sunny-side up, also not recommended by the folks on TV. Mmmmmm. Love those runny yolks. And of course sukiyaki's not nearly as good when you don't have a raw egg for dipping.

Re: Egg Recall
Not to sound totally ignorant here, but don't you cook eggs before eating them? Wouldn't that kill the salmonella? I know salmonella comes from raw chicken...so wouldn't cooking your eggs solve that problem? Or is it different since it's not meat? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but every time I see this, it keeps popping into my head.

Re: Egg Recall
Originally posted by tutusue View PostI don't think anyone is going to argue against buying local, price notwithstanding. But buying local is NOT what this thread is about. It's strictly about warning HTers that Safeway's statement that no recalled eggs were shipped to Hawaii is untrue and to encourage anyone who bought eggs at Safeway to check the carton for the plant numbers.
That evolved into my "buy local" rant. Just getting old.
