Isn't Salmonella killed by cooking? Don't have runny eggs.
About 1 in 20,000 eggs in the US contains Salmonella. With proper precautions (basic hygiene and cooking to a high temperature of a bit over 70°C), this risk isn't high. In fact, it's estimated that the risk eating cooked eggs is a few orders of magnitude lower than raw eggs – about 1 in 68 billion. However, when you absolutely know that you have eggs in a range that have an extremely high risk of Salmonella, this idea is just stupid and not at all worth even the relatively low risk, because the problem you likely run into isn't the safety of the cooked food – it's the safety of the handling of the food as you're preparing it. If your next grocery trip is a ways out, the eggs might spoil, but the UPC is what Costco cares about here. If you can't be bothered, then you should probably just toss them.
Also, as gross as I think it is, some people eat raw eggs for various reasons.
It's an eggnog time of year! ... Does rum kill salmonella?
Kinda! At 10% ethanol (20 proof), you don't get new growth. Up to around 50%, it kills salmonella slowly. So about 1 part 151 to 2 parts not and you're golden.
I think your ratios are backwards? ((175%)+(20%))/3= 25% but ((275%)+(10%))/3=50%
Edit: unless it's anything 20% to 50% that works.
I actually did type it backwards, but 25% abv would work.
Yes but the endotoxin, produced by the bacteria, which gives you the gut cramping and vomiting, is not removed by cooking. In other words, cooking doesn’t remove what makes you sick even if it kills bacteria and viruses.
