Pasteurized eggs are eggs that have been pasteurized in their shells through a technique of precise timing and temperature zones with a water bath. Pasteurizing reduces the risk of food-born illnesses in dishes that are not cooked or only lightly cooked. Everyday ingredients and food items like mayonnaise, eggnog and dressing use pasteurized eggs. You can pasteurize eggs at home with basic cooking equipment and a thermometer.
