11. Washing the eggs is just not a good idea
since it removes a coating on the shell that is impervious to bacteria. Washing the eggs opens them up to anything living on the surface. When stores don't refrigerate their eggs (and some stores don't, especially when they're on sale), that allows the contamination to grow within the egg.

If you can get free range eggs with chicken crap and feathers still clinging to them, they're the best.
