- It is very important not to use eggshells to separate the white from the yolk, as this is a very easy way to cross-contaminate, and if there is salmonella on the shell, then this bacteria remains on your hands. To be sure of the safety of the product, you can break the egg into a fine sieve and wait until the white separates from the yolk by itself.

- If you are preparing sauces, be sure to pasteurize the yolk in a steam bath. But don't forget that in order to kill salmonella, you need to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees for 5-6 minutes or just 1 minute at 70 degrees. But remember that the yolk can coagulate at 70 degrees, so it's better to just pasteurize.
