You dumped out the water ten minutes ago. The pot is cooled off, and empty. It only had whole eggs in it, still in the shells. Now tell me, do you wash that pot? Get out the sponge and the soap and scrub it like usual? Or do you give it a quick rinse and slam it in the drying rack? No judgement here, only curiosity.
Quick rinse unless I forget what I used it for or one of the eggs cracked or something.
Depends on the pot… I have a bunch of cast-iron & carbon-steel pans and most of those would get a hot rinse, and then a wipe with an oily cloth after going back on the element to heat back up & dry off any excess water.
My cheaper saucepans I probably wouldn’t bother unless there’d been a mishap and an egg had cracked - but we also have really hard water here so its often a good idea to wash from time to time.
rinse to re-dissolve and dissolved solids that may have come out of solution in the pot
quick rinse for me
I boil with salt and a bit of vinegar in the pot. When I’m done, there is a noticeable white coating on the pot, presumably calcium from the egg shells.
So yes, it gets washed.
This is the way
A quick rinse’ll do’er.
Boiled water, yeah?
Quick rinse and wipe, done!
Rinse and dry with a towel only because hard water.
I leave the pot on the counter for five days, forgetting its contents were harmless, and then wash the pot.
Boiled water leaves a residue on the pot, so I always end up halfheartedly washing it

I live with very hard water, I still just rinse it, but I need to dry with a towel to prevent hard water stains.
I have a dishwand that just stays out all the time, so I’d hit it with that. Almost everything either goes in the dishwasher or gets hit with the dishwand. If I cut up something like apples or cucumber I may just give the knife a rinse before it goes back into the block
No washing, the boiling water sterilized anything nefarious on the eggs. I don’t wash my cast iron either, just rinse and kill it with fire on the stove.
