Never done it. Just providing the link.


Re: raw eggs. IMO, salmonella risk is overrated for the most part if you have normal adult (non-pregnant) immune system. Or know where you get your eggs. You can also get pasteurized eggs if that's really a concern. And I'm pretty sure if you get those whites-in-a-jar that they are pasteurized (though not 100% certain - haven't read the label).

As far as raw egg white goes - you're thinking of avidin tying up biotin. It happens, but one or two raw eggs a day is probably not going to trigger a biotin deficiency - as if raw eggs were your only biotin source.
