Chicken eggs are one of the most popular products used in the process of preparing breakfast, lunch or dinner.

However, there is still debate among chefs about whether eggs should be washed before use, confirms Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.

Most cooks agree that it is not necessary to wash chicken eggs when preparing dishes.

They explain this by the fact that contact with water increases the risk of bacteria entering the egg several times.

Heat treatment is the most effective method for eliminating most harmful microorganisms from eggshells.

However, if a dish requires a raw egg to prepare, it will not be possible to destroy harmful microorganisms using boiling water.

Therefore, for safety reasons, do not break eggs on the edges of the dish.

While this is a quick, easy and convenient method, unfortunately it also guarantees that bacteria and dirt will end up in your dish.

For the same reason, you cannot separate egg whites and yolks using the shell.
