How to prepare and cook an egg?

Health Canada recommends washing your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling eggs.

Since raw eggs may contain bacteria, it is advised to cook them, as well as egg-based dishes, to at least 74°C (165°F). Eating raw or undercooked eggs can be risky for young children, seniors, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

For no-bake recipes (such as frosting, eggnog, or Caesar dressing), it is best to use pasteurized eggs.
