You dumped out the water ten minutes ago. The pot is cooled off, and empty. It only had whole eggs in it, still in the shells. Now tell me, do you wash that pot? Get out the sponge and the soap and scrub it like usual? Or do you give it a quick rinse and slam it in the drying rack? No judgement here, only curiosity.
Nepenthe ( @Nepenthe@kbin.social ) 28•1 year agoI leave the pot on the counter for five days, forgetting its contents were harmless, and then wash the pot.
GiantBasil ( @GiantBasil@beehaw.org ) 12•1 year agoI will half heartedly wash it with sponge and a tiny bit of soap because I feel guilty if I don’t.
aperson ( @aperson@beehaw.org ) 11•1 year agoA quick rinse’ll do’er.

majkeli ( @majkeli@beehaw.org ) 10•1 year agoEggs are filthy. They came out of a chicken’s pooper.
upstream ( @upstream@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year agoBut are usually washed before you get them.
You’ll know filthy unwashed eggs when you see them.
Boiling water also kills bacteria. In fact they get killed long before the water starts boiling (pasteurization).
However, water contains salts and minerals so I always give it a quick scrub and rinse and dry off, but I’m certainly not worried about my pot being unsanitary because I boiled eggs.
Spaceman Spiff ( @Nollij@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English8•1 year agoI boil with salt and a bit of vinegar in the pot. When I’m done, there is a noticeable white coating on the pot, presumably calcium from the egg shells.
So yes, it gets washed.
Smellmop ( @Smellmop@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoThis is the way
strangerloop ( @strangerloop@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year agoBoiled water leaves a residue on the pot, so I always end up halfheartedly washing it
AstralWeekends ( @AstralWeekends@lemm.ee ) 7•1 year agoI do because I live in an area where the water is hard as fuck, and will leave a ring of minerals in my pot if I do not wash it. So regardless of any other factors, I do.
pickles ( @pickles@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 6•1 year agoNo washing, the boiling water sterilized anything nefarious on the eggs. I don’t wash my cast iron either, just rinse and kill it with fire on the stove.
jonatan83 ( @jonatan83@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 6•1 year agoQuick rinse unless I forget what I used it for or one of the eggs cracked or something.
Seathru ( @Seathru@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year agoDid you wash the poo off the eggs before you started? If so; then, yeah, rinse it out and hang it back up.
sand_head ( @sand_head@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year agothis is why I poo on the eggs after they’re boiled, not before. fewer dishes to clean
overlordette ( @overlordette@lemmy.ca ) 4•1 year agoIf you’re in the US or Canada, they’ve already been cleaned! :)
Seathru ( @Seathru@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoMoms is slacking off. Anytime I visit she gives me dozens, but they are always straight outta the chicken.
I’m a lazy fuck, but I’ll at least rinse jic.
Jordan Lund ( @jordanlund@lemmy.one ) 3•1 year agoBoiled water, yeah?
Quick rinse and wipe, done!
tim_0475 ( @tim_0475@feddit.de ) 3•1 year agoOur water is hard so I scrub lightly with a sponge to get the pot shiny again but don’t use soap
