    The main downside is that you can’t eat raw eggs in the US

    You can buy pasteurized eggs, though they can be hard to find. You can also DIY them with a sous vide cooker.

        You can sous vide eggs to pasteurize them and they are still raw. That’s what they do when they make cookie dough to eat raw.

        Sous vide is just accurately holding a water bath at a given temperature. You put your food in (in a baggie if necessary) at a specific temperature and time to achieve a consistent “doneness”.

        130-140 farenheit for an hour is enough to kill pathogens in eggs, but low enough it doesn’t cook them.
