How to Wash Unwashed Eggs

Unwashed eggs store far better at room temperature than washed eggs. Households that cook unwashed eggs often have dedicated sponges just for knocking the literal crud off f the egg before you crack it and eat it. Unlike me, a guy in the united states, where eggs are generally washed and then refrigerated, i am quite cavalier about where i crack my eggs. I often do it right on the counter where i am cooking. There's still potential for cross contamination there, but less so with a washed egg. And i've thus far lived to tell the tale.
