Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the planet. Egg yolk is rich in cholesterol, which is not a bad thing considering a little fat in the daily diet is essential.
COOKING EGGS
Heating an egg to a temperature of 68 degree centigrade for 15 seconds will kill all harmful organisms. Egg-containing food heated in microwave should reach 74 degree centigrade for at least 2 minutes. All parts of the egg must reach this minimum temperature. Cooked eggs should be eaten within 2 hours; after this time, an egg’s place is in a refrigerator. This is why packing eggs for a school or a picnic is a bad idea. Hardboiled eggs stored in the fridge must be eaten within 1 week.
Scrambled eggs, French toast, omelettes and mayonnaise can have under cooked eggs in them, and that makes them unsafe for weak immune systems. Wash hands, egg containing utensils, egg whisk and other equipment, and work surfaces with hot, soapy water before and after contact with eggs. Store eggs in a carton in the fridge door. And do not leave them exposed. Do not buy eggs with cracked shells.
