It depends upon what the egg is being used for. If it is a farm fresh egg intending to be hatched, it should not be washed at all, if dirty, a gentle brushing to clean only, stains on the shell will not come off. If it is store bought, refrigerated eggs, they have already received a wash before being packed into the carton. If gathered by hand with the intention of eating them, then wash them gently under running water, do not soak, as eggs are very porous. No kind of washing detergent or cleaning agent should be used as the egg will absorb any liquid and some aromas it comes into contact with. Use a soft bristled brush and rinse repeatedly. Dry with paper towels or soft cloth and refrigerate in a crush proof container.
