Thinking about consuming raw eggs, but worried about salmonella poisoning. Is there any way to do this safely?
No.
That's really the long and short of it. Only way you could ensure with absolute certainty that there is no salmonella on the shell (it's always on the shell, never in the egg unless it's well too old to eat anyway) is to boil it off. But then you don't have a raw egg anymore, for obvious reasons.
If it's any consolidation, Zuckerei was pretty popular for a while in the 60s here. Just eggs in a glass with sugar. If you get very fresh eggs, from a local egg farm if possible, and you can crack eggs well and thus reduce egg contact with the outer shell, there's next to no chance to get salmonella. Never impossible but my great-grandfather had Zuckerei for well over fifty years regularly and never got it.
Getting salmonella is a freak chance. Just gotta decide if you're a bitch or not, I guess.
What got you that idea in the first place?
