Farm Cooling of Eggs for Quality and Safety
Cooling eggs promptly is essential to prevent germ growth above 68 degrees F. Eggs hatch at 104 to 107 degrees F and must be cooled to safe temperatures. Climate affects cooling needs with moisture for arid regions and protection from freezing in cold climates. Farmers use cellars, springs, caves, ice houses, or improvised devices like burlap on frames moistened by a water pan.
