@Coloma My grandma used to make those pie crust swirls too! They are yummy!
As a serious baker, I feel it is my duty to taste cake batter, brownie batter, or cookie dough before baking it and giving it to others. Anyone who’s watched Hell’s Kitchen knows that a decent chef tastes the food to make sure it is perfect! It would be very irresponsible of me not to lick the bowl. And, because tastes very, I take the additional precaution of giving each of my children a sample. We all have to make sure the finished product will taste good! A little risk of salmonella is a small price to pay for culinary excellence.
According to The Egg People (who are not at all biased, I’m sure), the risk of salmonella from eggs is very low. About 1 in every 20,000 eggs is estimated to be contaminated with the salmonella bacteria, and that 1 egg would have to be eaten raw or undercooked to make you sick.
