When you boil eggs, do you wash them beforehand?

Someone introduced me to the idea of washing eggs before boiling. The reasoning is there could be some dirty stuff on the egg surface.

I don't have this practice; but the reasoning sounds plausible. I guess the core question is how well egg farms wash their eggs. I'm wondering how many people wash eggs before boiling them.

Washing eggs before boiling is a pretty common practice for some folks. While many egg farms do a thorough cleaning, it can vary. If it gives you peace of mind, it’s definitely worth doing!

Personally, I would wash the egg first before boiling. It's to make sure that everything is clean.
