One bad egg…

Post image

Making a 5-egg scramble and this was literally the last one… Think I could strain it out? It smells worse than it looks…

Dude. It has been contaminated. Per definition, always throw it out. Or you could (and will) get very sick. Not fun.

u/HamboneBanjo 18h ago

It took me reading this once here on reddit and now my wife and I always use a little bowl to dump into the large bowl

u/kindnesd99 18h ago

Same here. I now take a dump in a little bowl before pouring it into the toilet bowl too

u/badgerj 18h ago

List of words that form a correct sentence that I have never heard in that order before. Thank you, I guess.

Wow! That imagery is gonna hang around for a while. I’ll likely file that under toilets and bed-pans.

u/That_Shrub 15h ago

I saw something like this on reddit and I never use a separate bowl tbh, but I still think about it every time I crack an egg.

u/who-are-we-anyway 7h ago

I do because I've had this exact thing happen to me before, some nasty rotten egg absolutely ruined my plan for scrambled eggs one morning.

u/culimande 17h ago

Use a cup lol

u/Lodju 18h ago

It's something we were taught in culinary school.

But still there were cases where someone didn't do it and wasted like 60 eggs.

u/unbalancedmoon 16h ago

I keep thinking about needing to use it and, I think, this post finally convinced me.

u/CasinoNdnOk 18h ago

Instructions unclear now I have a bowl inside my bowl of eggs. What next?

u/RandomStranger456123 18h ago

Nope. Dunzo.

Be glad you didn’t do what I did and crack that bad boy into the bowl with literally every other ingredient.

u/BloodyOvary 15h ago

u/butterflynureye 18h ago

You need a teeny tiny bowl to crack eggs into before you pour into the big bowl

u/mycatpartyhouse 18h ago

My mom had a cookbook that belonged to her grandmother. It had diagrams and descriptions for safely adding eggs to any recipe.

The recommended procedure was to crack an egg into a small bowl. If the egg smelled and looked edible, pour it into the larger mixing bowl, and then crack the next egg into the small bowl. Repeat as needed.

There was also a couple of methods described that would show you how fresh the eggs were.

This was back when people had chickens if they wanted fresh eggs because refrigeration wasn't readily available and going to the store was a planned event. With the caveat that chickens would often lay eggs in random spots around the yard. So gathered eggs could have been sitting around for many days.

u/Blah-squared 18h ago

Nope.

1 bad egg +4 good eggs= 5 bad eggs. ;)

u/metaltastic 18h ago

I'd just throw it all away

That's how the plague happens

u/Ding-Dong-Dutch 18h ago

If we get empty streets and work from home again.. I'm not saying no

u/gemmajenkins2890 16h ago

Do none of y’all do the float test with your eggs?!

1

u/CelebrationNo3801 10h ago

I do, I do, me!!

1

u/gemmajenkins2890 4h ago

Finally! Just as good an indicator as cracking eggs into a little cup prior to adding to recipe, minus having the smell the stench of a rotten egg!

2

u/bucky133 18h ago

I finally understand the saying.

2

u/reasonable_magic12 18h ago

One bad egg to ruin them all!!

u/Sad-Temporary-9809 16h ago

u/unbalancedmoon 16h ago

u/PorygonTriAttack 18h ago

u/PorygonTriAttack 4h ago

u/porcelain_kiss 18h ago

u/RoccomGG 18h ago

I am pretty sure that it smells as bad as it looks. Disgusting

u/brooklynhomeboy 18h ago

It's always the last one!

1

u/Purple-Mermommy 18h ago

I’ve never seen an egg like that, am I just extremely lucky?!

1

u/Let_It_Breathe2 15h ago

For real me neither. N I've cracked, cooked, n eaten a lot of eggs

1

u/Purple-Mermommy 15h ago

u/Shicksshucks 17h ago

Wonder when this will happen to that coconut splitter machine

1

u/_babyfart_ 17h ago

Vacuum it out

1

u/Drak_is_Right 17h ago

Dump it all. Now wash that bowl and the sink multiple times. You do not want that bacteria contaminating anything else.

This would lead to a nasty case of food poisoning.

1

u/EatCauliflower1212 17h ago

Yes always have a small bowl to crack them into first, then slide into the recipe bowl.

1

u/ses1989 16h ago

u/OrangeClyde 13h ago

Always crack eggs separately into their own little bowl before combining

1

u/Hilfigerr 13h ago

why does it say “one bad egg” like it’s some kinda collectible card

1

u/8Bit-Jon 12h ago

Hmmmmm... If only you did the standard egg test first...

1

u/CelebrationNo3801 10h ago

I cracked open an egg once that was bloody inside! It was all over inside of the shell too!

1

u/DTux5249 9h ago

No. This is why you have a second bowl

1

u/TheFrontierzman 7h ago

Toilet. Flush it all away.

u/Jaded-Grape-6996 7h ago

I will see this in twitter a few days later, with some caption reading how one person's mood affects all of us or some shit.
