Eggs

Hi Grandma. You may have already received an answer to this but, since I'm responding from an email, I can't see them yet. The way to check if eggs are still good or not is to place them in cold water. If the eggs lay on the bottom of the pot or bowl, they're good. If they are standing up but still touching the bottom, they're good. If they float to the top of the water, they're bad and should be thrown away. I'm always forgetting the last egg or two and have always used this method of checking whether they're good or not. It has worked so far!

Hi GRANDMA, I KEEP EGGS QUITE A FEW WEEKS. TRY NOT TO HAVE TO GO DO ANY BIG GROCERY SHOPPING BUT ONCE A MONTH I always buy enough eggs to last me most of the time. I have never had any trouble w/them ruining.

I really don't know how long you can keep them....I do know that I have mine in the refridge a lot longer then that and they are still good.....

Hey Grandmaof2! I'm not exactly sure how long the shelf life of eggs is, but I do know it is alot longer than most people think! As long as they are kept in the refrigerator and they are cold they can stay for a pretty long time. I keep mine for at least two months when I get them from the grocery store and I have never had a problem!

Three weeks is a bit longer to keep eggs bought up at the farm so it is a good that you threw them instead of cooking them as you never know if you can get contaminated with those eggs too.

we usually have a week to dispose the eggs from the time that we buy them each week. i don't think they go stale that fast. lol, u threw them out without checking if they are still okay? here is a discussion on how long eggs are kept in the refrigerator. please find time to read this as i find this helpful to all of us. God bless! http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_will_fresh_chicken_eggs_keep_in_the_refrigerator

I say those eggs were still good. I know that I have read on one sight that eggs can be kept up to almost 2 months.

I've kept eggs in the frig for more than a month before and they were fine. But I don't know the actual time they are good for before they go bad...sorry.

When I buy eggs I always have an expiration date on the carton that contain the eggs. So I'm not sure about yours. My flat out guess would be that three weeks are about it for their shelf life.

Eggs are a funny thing. You can use them up fast before the due date or wait, and they can hold up for awhile. Gee 3 weeks ago at work I needed to use a few for a new truck. Worked out well. But back to the eggs, I know you can sometimes use them past the due date.

We buy our eggs from supermarket,it has a best before date stamped on it, so i never worried about when it's gone off. But when buying from farm, i used to clean the eggs first and put in frigde for two weeks, after two weeks i try to break it and smell if it's off or not, if it's smell still good i cook it, if not throw it away.

A good deal could be a month or so the shell may contain salmonella, resulting in food contamination. But also easily lead to improper storage of spoilage, the matter may be small, learning a great! Washed and then into the refrigerator the refrigerator is generally left a dedicated egg box bit, a lot of people buy eggs directly into the box, would not have thought about cleaning it is very easy to overlook risks of food-borne poisoning . As the eggshell in chicken egg-laying process and rolling in a cage by the sources of pollution in line with the chicken, may contain salmonella, resulting in food contamination. If you open the refrigerator door when the hands touch the shell, but also touch the cut watermelon, or other foods, cross-contamination is inevitable. Therefore, raw eggs should be thoroughly cleaned and then into the refrigerator.

I like to have egg. Anytime i will have it. Not only me my friends, my wife, my chidren like it very much. So i have a stock of 10 egg in the fridge as default.It is very good for health. It has Vitamins and Proteins which will give you the healthy body. Eating more egg can avoid the cardiac problems. Younger should have it for their growth. Because it has more protein in it.

I just have some details that i would like to share with you eggs are naturally pretty reislent and will usually last two or three weeks unrefrigerated .This is due largely to natural antibacterial qualities in the shell. * When you bring home your carton of eggs,before you place them in the fridge, turn over every egg pointy side down. It will make the egg last longer by moving the air bubble. * After boiling an egg, you should take it out of the hot water and dunk it in cold water suddenly. That causes the inside skin to separate from the shell completely, making the egg super easy to peel. If you then break the shell, the egg will simply fall out in one piece. * Fresh eggs will keep refrigerated all winter long if you dip them in a water glass solution which seals the shells so air cannot get into them. Maybe glue will do the same thing. In my childhood, my mother did it all the time, because normally chickens don't lay all the year around

I just asked my husband, and he says for fresh eggs, he's had them in his fridge for over a month, and they're still good. We live next door to a wonderful Farmer's market, and we eat a lot of eggs around here so this is never an issue for us, but for when we dind't have access to fresh new eggs every week, and only had the ones from the stores, a month was still OK.

I am not sure how long you can keep eggs before they go bad. I have had some for quite some time also and cooked them and they were still good. I have never heard of an expiration for them before.

I've been known to keep them for several weeks without any trouble. I have heard though that they should not be kept for more than a week or two. But I've kept them longer without any problems as long as they are refrigerated.

I don't know about AB, but in B.C., we can NO longer buy or sell eggs at roadside marketing! Four years ago, I had 119 chickens of various & sundry breeds. The Capital Regional District brought in really tough legislation..costly, costly regulations, that were virtually impossible to comply with as you would have had to have a bank full of money to meet the requirements. Virtually ended the sale of farm/roadside eggs! So, believe it or not...this is leading up to my answer! I think commercial eggs have a 4 week, best before date...just looking at mine in the fridge (yes, I have had to resort to commercial eggs)..and there is a window of 4 weeks! Who knows, they could be feeding those poor "commercial" chickens, stabilizers, and preservatives. So nice to hear from you, enjoy your small hiatus...dear girl...and Cheers!

Good heavens, there is nothing wrong with keeping fresh eggs in the fridge for 3 weeks! Unless you had a power out they are still good as long as they have been kept dry. You can tell if an egg is spoiled by its appearance (and smell), or if in doubt just drop it in water and if it floats then throw it out.

I forget how you tell they're fresh. Is it that they float if ok and sink if not or the other way around? At any rate, I'd look that up on the internet and see before throwing them out. I love eggs so many ways, they don't get a chance to hang around for very long here.
