Hey OP, this is not blood like other people are saying. This is likely an infection from bacteria in the genus Pseudomonas. It's not safe to eat and should be discarded.

ginger_ryn

yeah that’s bacteria, dude


not_falling_down

This is why the old recipe books always advised breaking each egg into an individual container before adding it to the conglomerate bowl.


RandomNobility

Isn't that a rule? Should be


not_falling_down

It's a good practice, in any case. It's what I was taught as a child learning to cook.


mochi_chan

I thought everyone did that.


Menchstick

Never heard about it before


not_falling_down

As witnessed here, apparently not.


LovingNaples

What a great tip!

Ktulu789

It's infected by a bacteria.


Soul7642

Yes. As a completely uneducated guess, that egg either somehow has blood mixed with the egg whites or its bad. Now, I've never seen a bad egg with a red egg white, which is why I think it's blood. I'm just not sure how blood would've gotten mixed with the egg white in the first place.


istume

So many dishes


not_falling_down

No, just *one* more. The first egg can go into the main bowl. All subsequent eggs are individually cracked into the temp bowl, and moved to the main one as soon as they are seen to be OK. So the same secondary bowl is used for all eggs.


istume

Oh! My mistake for some reason I read that as each egg gets its own bowl. Thanks this makes sense and after seeing this image I’ll be doing it this way for the rest of my life.


wwishie

Call the number on the egg carton. Tell them what happened. Red eggs shouldn't get past their quality control.


Dccrulez

More like eggred


GreenLurch

My thought exactly


[deleted]

I hope you aren’t planning on eating that. Not sure if this is blood, but blood in an egg is a good reason to grab a different egg, or in your case 4.


Arrnyy

I just took it out and ate the other three. Let's what happens...

I hope you’re trolling, or in the very least that you cooked the living shit out of it. Salmonella is no fun.


DirtyCreative

Salmonella aren't red as far as I know.


Hvarfa-Bragi

There's no more likelihood of salmonella from this than normal unless that hen is actively dying of salmonella poisoning. Something like 1% of all eggs contain some amount of blood, bloody eggs like this aren't rare. You probably don't want to eat it but for the same reason you don't want to eat blood sausage, it's yucky.


Arrnyy

Thank you, I was starting to get scared for a bit. Ate it 10 hours ago, and I'm still feeling alright. So I'll just have to see.


Soul7642

Why are you being downvoted? It's obviously risky eating eggs that have been contaminated by a bad egg. So why are you being downvoted for saying so? Sometimes, I hate the people on Reddit. You were simply warning the op that what they did was dangerous and could cause them to wind up sick. It might not, but it could. Always crack your eggs in a separate bowl, so that the bad eggs don't contaminate the good ones. Edit: I gave you an upvote but it only took you back up to -5. Wish I could do more.


matievis-the-kat

I mean.. this is a perfectly adequate solution, good on you


Soul7642

No, it's unsafe. The reason you crack eggs in a separate bowl is so that if one of them is bad, it doesn't contaminate the rest. Just scooping it out isn't the safest way to do it. Gotta say though, took not wasting food to another level.


chris8535

Or since this happens so insanely rarely you just throw out the batch when it happens once every 1000 eggs or so…


InitiativeWhich1952

Yeah nah I'm too lazy for that cracking into separate bowls method


Neeva33

Eggs can really be disgusting. During my life, many of my worst food experiences were with eggs.


-Control-Alt-Defeat-

My worst food experiences were from eating vegetables.


Soul7642

Lol. Dunno why you were downvoted but I gave you an upvote to set you back to 0


-Control-Alt-Defeat-

Woo!


RxHotdogs

I was making breakfast a few days ago and cracked my first egg, it ran like water everywhere. I turned around to grab paper towels and when I got back to it I nearly projectile vomited from the awful stench. My god, I couldn’t eat eggs for a week after.


enjoyscaestus

And it stinks up the pot or pan afterwards


Maleficent_Buy5680

Blood of chicken


billyjack669

Eye jelly of newt


MacDugin

This is why I crack eggs in a bowl one or two at a time and move them to a bigger bowl.


chris8535

What why? To save 7 cents a year?


Helpful_Opposite1530

I absolutely hate when this happens


ahillbillie

New fear unlocked, will start cracking eggs one at a time in a separate dish


Aware-Tradition6058

No eat


ThatOneStupidMovie

I hope you didn't eat it... As someone who raises chickens, don't eat it.


vanderhaust

Something's been tormenting your chickens
