Can you eat Broken Eggs?

[brunswickite]

i was making myself egg omelot, ... yea its 12:30 am and i only have 3 left and one is cracked a little, not too much but if you poke the crack its a little open. Are the eggs safe would you eat it?

no, you have to eat them whole, if you crack them you have to throw them out.

i am making egg omelot, and when taking out the package one was a little cracked, i am asking if its still good to eat

I would never eat a cracked egg.

Well probably not since bacteria could possibly get in from the surface of the egg, such as salmanella. I doubt it, but it's possible.

I don't know.....kick the next guy you see in the nads and find out for yourself.

There is an increased chance of getting Salmonella since the eggs barrier has been damaged.

One of those few things you dont want to use if they appear to be already broken

I am no skilled cook, but I would be the likelyhood of some sort of bacteria is much, much more likely with a cracked egg. I wouldn't eat it. Just go w/ a classic egg sandwich: Egg and melted american cheese on buttered toast (It is the unhealthiest thing ever, but oh, so good)

No.

If it has salmonella, doesn't frying it up get rid of it?

/ignorant.

The egg would have to reach a temperature of at least 160F throughout.

you can eat anything

would i eat it..absolutely not

egg=cholesterol (yolk) + albumin (white)

albumin is an ideal culture medium for the growth of bacteria

egg shell - partial barrier to bacteria

broken shell - no barrier whatsoever

outside of shell - well, it does pop out of the chicken from down there - not sterile

refrigeration - slows down the growth of bacteria (but doesn't stop it)

FDA therefore recommends you cook eggs until they have no "runny" or liquid characteristics left to minimize the risk of
eating tainted food (also minimizes the appeal and taste of the eggs).
