Anytime you cook or bake with eggs, always crack it into a separate bowl before adding it to your pan or mixing bowl. If that egg were to be bad, and you crack it directly into what you are making, you have ruined what you are preparing.
It's only happened twice in 37 years, but I ruined a cake and a meatloaf by cracking an egg into the mixture and finding out too late the egg was rotten.
Don't let one rotten egg spoil your recipe. Always break each egg into a small dish before adding it to the other ingredients. As you break each egg, check it out then pour it into the mix before you crack another one. This way, if you discover a bad egg, you will only have wasted one egg rather than several eggs or even an entire batch of ingredients.

When baking, always break your eggs, one at a time, in a separate small bowl before putting them in your mixing bowl. This allows you to make sure none of the eggs are bad. Then you just have to get rid of that one bad egg, rather than the bowl with all the other ingredients in it!
