Does that work either side of the equator?


Pretty sure the Coriolis Effect applies to toilets, tub drains, and hurricanes... not eggs!

I most often buy my eggs from the Farmer's Market. They are sold room temp and I store them that way. They seem to last about a month. On the occasions when I buy them at the store where they are refrigerated, then I store them in my fridge at home.

The USDA requires that eggs be sold under refrigeration. But I just thought why every refrigerator has egg trays ?

Interesting. A while back I watched one of the many 'cooking' programmes we get in the UK and 2 chefs were asked this question. One said Yes the other No.

Apparently there is a right way up to store eggs too!!

I thought Eggs would ruin if you did not keep them in the fridge. So I keep my in the fridge. I would be interested to know if they taste the same? Has anyone gotten sick not keeping them in the fridge. So many questions now.

In the fridge, in the little dented bit in the door where they belong 😂

I buy mine direct from the farm, 30 eggs to the tray and transfer them to cartons of 12. I store them in the fridge except for the carton I am using which is kept on the counter near the stove.

No. I buy a box of 15 Welsh free range eggs which will last about a week.

Had an interesting experience recently. Was with a friend who had eggs whose BBD was in June. My initial reaction was to dump them but she disagreed. We did the water test and wasn't conclusive. I googled and the consensus was sight and smell. Cracked them open and they looked and smelled ok. Made a fritatta and am still alive. 🙏

Store eggs should be refrigerated because they have been washed. At least this is the case in the USA, though I'm aware that other countries don't follow the same practices. Ironically, this is to reduce the spread of disease, but it also causes them to go bad more quickly. When we had our chickens, we NEVER washed nor refrigerated their eggs, leaving them out sometimes several weeks without issue.

We tested the washing theory by actually washing a couple, and then seeing how long they lasted outside the fridge. Sure enough, went bad in a few days. DIdn't test the baby oil trick; I've heard of people doing that, but I'm not sure it works as well as the original coating.

Clear difference between Europe and the US.

Here in Europe since the Salmonella crisis of the 1980s, regulations on the rearing of chickens and production of eggs for sale have been tightened. Eggs have a natual coating of a substance which prevents bacteria entering the business part of the egg through the shell, and it is now illegal to wash this off eggs which are to be sold. Naturally we get accustomed to bits of feather on the shell but we don't eat the shell so we don't care. These eggs keep very well out of the fridge and anyway they are easier to work with that way.

In the US, on the other hand, it is illegal not to wash eggs for sale. Which is why they get shiny white eggs that don't have any protection from bacteria, so must be kept in the fridge. But I think Americans are more inclined to keep food in the fridge anyway, compared to Europeans, which is why they have such huge refrigerators.

If the eggs are washed, refrigerate them. If not washed you can leave them out. Washing removes a protective film on the egg

No. Keep the eggs in the cupboard. They are on a shelf in the shops so why put them in the fridge when you get home?

In the States eggs are kept in refrigerated shelves. I have noticed that in Australia and New Zealand, they are often not refrigerated at the store.

I'm an American. You may not have my huge refrigerator until your pry it from my cold, dead, egg-stained fingers.

Eggs in fridge or recipes wouldn't call for "room temperature eggs"

You go to the grocery store, where are the eggs kept? Open fridge.

In the UK Supermarkets and shops eggs are normally displayed unfridged in the bakery section. On the British Egg website it recommends keeping eggs in the fridge but bring them out for an half hour before using. Personally, I used to keep mine in the fridge but for some years keep them in the their box on the work surface. I will go through a dozen eggs a week myself so they are used up well within their BB date. Just remember not to teach your granny how to suck eggs 😁.
