When I've finished baking? I knooow this sounds stupid.
But baking= raw egg. And the BEST part about baking is licking the bowl and utensils clean... Raw cookie dough anyone?? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |

I suspect not - if it contains raw egg. Yeah its the best bit about being the baker, I personally wouldn't take the risk. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I felt the same when I was making Pavs as they are virtually just egg white, so hubby was happy he got the whole bowl to himself! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I think that the risk is very low, in saying that though when I was pg I didn't lick the bowl just in case. So loving it now that I can!! ------------- Lindsey

i did alot of baking while pregnant with emmett and i too love eating left over cookie dough, but didnt want to risk it with the raw egg so i just snuck a bit of dough before i added the egg. ------------- Mummy to 4 boys Samuel - 18.6.05 Rory - 15.7.06 Mason - 13.06.08 Emmett - 24.01.10 Baby #5 - cooking |

I've done it quite a bit accidentally on purpose  All good so far *knock on wood* but I always have very fresh organic eggs from the farmer's market. Don't know if that makes a difference!-------------   tinyurl.com/6ptm6bn - My Blog

I would do it, and did do it. I also ate ham, soft cheeses, etc and I didn't make anything piping hot either before I ate it.
Some won't, some will. It all comes down to what you feel comfortable doing. |

I sometimes chose a recipe simply because it had no eggs and i could eat it raw.
But i didn't eat any that had egg in. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I wouldn't. I'm a sucker for raw cookie dough too. I've started making shortbread instead because it doesn't have egg ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I did, it never even occurred to me that I shouldn't. Clever me.
I think it's quite a low risk since the eggs would be fresh and have only just come out of the fridge, but if you aren't comfortable with it then it's only a few months out of your bowl-licking life ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I always did. I figure its only a little bit thats left and if I cut out everything you can't have, then I wouldn't eat at all! |

Awwww stink. I actually realised half way through licking the bowl. And was gutted I couldn't finish it without feeling guilty!!! Haha, how sad!!
Oh well, only another 3months of no bowl licking for me! I'm sure I'll cope. My baking might suffer though (actually, I hope it doesn't. My bakings bad enough as it is...) |
