Another post made me think of this -
Do parents, besides me, still let their kids lick the beater/spoon after mixing cake batter or brownies? I buy open pasture eggs from a local family however they are not certified organic. I guess I'm wondering if I'm really weird and putting my kids at more than normal risk. |

| Of course I do. Heck we practically compete for the "right" to lick the beaters and bowl! |

Me: Ewww! No! You are going to get food poisoning!
My husband: Shhh! Don't tell mom! |

DH got his mom the best mother's day card this year. It said "Good moms let their kids lick the beaters. Great moms turn them off first."

Yep, absolutely. Especially chocolate chip cookie dough.

| Of course, that's the point of beaters! |

| OP. I'm very surprised by these comments and happy that people seem to be forgetting about the hysteria of raw eggs. |

| Yes! And I am down with raw eggs, too (they get eaten a lot in my culture). I've probably eaten 1000 raw eggs and have never gotten sick. |
