How do you put eggs in the cholent? Hard boiled or raw? Wrapped in foil or something else or just put in with cholent?

I do hard boiled, but raw works just fine too, and I put it straight in the chulent

I like putting cooked peeled eggs in. (as kids we always fought over the "window"- hard, dark brown spot which happens to spots sticking out on top)

I put raw eggs on top of the whole thing raw when I put in in the crock pot. It works just fine for me.

I put the raw eggs in the chulent without wrapping it in anything. It comes out great. We love it.

My children refuse to eat eggs on shabbos only if they are brown from the cholent. They absolutely love them!!
I put it into the pot together with the other ingredients cooked and peeled.

I put into the chulent raw. and in mesh bag. I once had where some of the peel came off and I found it floating in chulent. uch. so I this minimizes this. we loooooooooooooooove it. no you dont have to cook or peel it before. make life easy just put in the cooked chulent right before shabbos. and take out the bag with eggs and voila, warm yummy eggs. love it.

Did you ever put raw, open eggs (as in poached eggs)on top of the cholent? I wonder how that would come out.

You can add either raw or hard boiled eggs to chulent before it starts bubbling, but if you take a cold raw egg from the fridge and put it into a boiling chulent the egg will crack open. Another alternative is to let the egg warm to room temp before adding it to bubbling chulent. DH likes chulent eggs. I do not.

Once the chulent finished cooking on Thursday, while it's still warm, I add raw eggs straight into the pot. Then they continue to cook Friday night.

I add them raw, right before the zman and never had cracking issues. I make sure to run it under hot water before I put it into the chulent, so if there are any existing cracks it will show, and then I don't use it.
I know some people use a mesh bag for easier, more efficient retrieval.

There isn't an issue about blood spots?

what kind of issue? If you find a blood spot, which btw, I never have, you simply don't eat it.

About blood spots, here is useful information: https://oukosher.org/blog/kosh.....pots/

Specifically, this part, where it explains why we cook a minimum of 3 eggs when boiling:

"It is in light of this modern reality that Harav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l, (Igros Moshe, Yoreh Deah 1:36), clarifies that blood spots found in commercially produced eggs do not present any fundamental kosher problem. With respect to fertile eggs in the past, where a significant doubt existed that the blood might represent a new embryo, it was necessary to throw out the entire egg if it had a bloodspot. This is also the reason why a minimum of three eggs were boiled at one time – if one of them had a spot, it would be batel b’rov to the other two."

Hope this helps!
