    I just let mine air dry outside but you can wash them to get any residue of eggs off and then bake them that should help with the smell

    I gave up on eggshell. I switched to gypsum and have been pretty happy with it, it's much more bioavailable calcium too.

    I heard you can boil them in some water & use the cooled shell infused water for your plants but I haven’t tried it yet
