Why are eggs in Italy not refrigerated?

[iamwhatiseem]

First answer is correct.
In the U.S. - USDA requires eggs to be washed, side effect of that is it removes a protective film on the outside of the shell that keep bacteria from getting into the eggs.
If you do not refrigerate them, they will spoil quicker, and you are risking bacterial infection.

Having said that, when you use eggs for baking - they should be room temperature - not cold.

Troll post. You just can’t stop, can you?

You can't even give your own opinion about poached eggs. My process now is to buy the smallest eggs I can and refrigerate them.

Heat a litre of water in a 2 litre pot and add a generous slug of malt vinegar, keep the water at a temperature so only the odd bubble is formed on the bottom, if at all.

Break two chilled eggs into a vessel that's easy to pour from. Give the heated water a stir so a vortex is created and immediately slide the eggs into it.

Four minutes. Drain with a slotted spoon then tip onto a paper or cotton towel to drain and to separate with a knife.

Serve on toasted whole grain bread.

You’re not interested in my opinion. You’re a troll.

What's your process for poaching them?

Shoot them at night when no one is looking, and cut off their duck horns?

I tried silicone rings. Egg stuck to them.

Grease them, you stupid twit.

But you knew that already.

what makes you think these animals are being abused??

I don't know, that ship left the dock, what was the subject?

Does it make a difference? in the fridge or not?

Sky, seems it is according to who you ask.

I hoped they'd work without grease, saving a job of cleaning them. The vortex will cook two quite acceptably/perfectly - especially if they're small, chilled, fresh - saving a task.

Everyone sees the spotlight...

In the fridge in the US. Room temperature in countries with good poultry hygiene.
