Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
I only took it off when I was strict about the baby getting no whites with his eggs, because I felt like the egg whites would stick to them. I don't know if that's true but it seemed like it. Now I don't bother with them.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
My mom did this, too, growing up, so that's what I always did
Now it's only a once-in-a-while thing.

I like the umbilical cord description...I worked with a girl who said "oh you mean the spermy looking thing?"

I often remove them, but not always. If I'm just making scrambled eggs, I don't bother. But if I'm baking it making custard or swiss meringue buttercream or something like that, yep! Fish those suckers out!

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_white
You can see it in that picture, it's connected to the yolk. Ime when I pull it off, the egg yolk usually breaks. ---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ---------- Ok, I'm such a nerd. I found out it called the "Chalazae". It anchors the yolk to the center of the white.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
Yup, I always remove them because seeing them in the finished product (scrambled eggs, baking, whatever) always squicks me out. They feel gross if you're unlucky enough to find one in your mouth, too.
When I crack the egg, I dump out the white but keep the yolk in the shell (like you would dumping the yolk back and forth to separate the egg). If you turn the shell just so, you can get the "chalazae" (thank you ) to flop over the edge of the shell and just pinch them off. It only takes me a couple of extra seconds per egg, so it's no big deal. Last edited by Macky; 06-13-2012 at 06:45 PM. Reason: fix punctuation |

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
I used to, but I no longer bother at all. We eat WAY too many eggs.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
Finally a reason to be grateful that I'm allergic to eggs.

Re: white squiggly stuff in eggs
It's not an undeveloped chick. My mom would tell me stuff like that, too. I wonder why that myth got around?
