How to pasteurize eggs at home.You should always pasteurize your eggs no matter whether you bought them in the store or got them from your backyard hens. Pasteurized eggs are eggs that have been pasteurized in order to reduce the risk of food-borne illness in dishes that are not cooked or are only lightly cooked. They may be sold as liquid egg products or pasteurized in the shell. (Wikipedia) Watch our featured video: How to Pasteurize Eggs. Pasteurizing your eggs is the safest way to prevent contracting salmonella from egg. 

Heat eggs covered in water in a saucepan as if you were going to boil them. When the pan reaches 140° to 150° F, remove from heat and allow the eggs to rest in the water for 3 minutes. Your eggs are now pasteurized and can be used in recipes just like any other unpasteurized eggs. Keep eggs refrigerated until you use them. You can coat them with food grade wax to maintain freshness. "Pasteurizing eggs in their shells is achieved through a technique that uses precise time and temperature zones within water baths. Pasteurizing eggs in their shells can also be achieved through a process that involves treatment with ozone and reactive oxygen species under high and low pressures, followed by replacement with an inert gas, such as nitrogen. Currently, shell eggs pasteurized using the heating technique are the only commercially available pasteurized eggs. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “Shell eggs can be pasteurized by a processor if FDA accepted the process for the destruction of Salmonella. Pasteurized shell eggs are now available at some grocery stores and must be kept refrigerated to retain quality. The equipment to pasteurize shell eggs isn't widely available for home use, and it may prove difficult to pasteurize shell eggs at home without cooking the contents of the egg.” However, for a growing number of homes with precise sous-vide equipment, pasteurization can easily be achieved by holding eggs at 135F for 75 minutes.
After pasteurization, the eggs are coated with food-grade wax to maintain freshness and prevent environmental contamination and stamped with a red "P" in a circle to distinguish them from unpasteurized eggs" (2).
