How to test an Egg for Freshness...Is it safe to eat?


This is the most simple way to test your homegrown eggs for freshness and safety. Unwashed eggs will last many days without the need for refrigeration. Just think about what an egg is, a safe home for a chick to develop. If they went bad in days there would be no chickens. The covering is called the "bloom" and it is an oil based coating over the entire egg. Washing removes this coating. Store bought eggs whether organic or not do not have this bloom. They need to be refrigerated to keep them safe to eat. Thanks for watching.

Re: How to test an Egg for Freshness...Is it safe to eat?
Cool. Thanks. We love eggs and get ours home delivered by the neighbor boys on their 50cc. Now I've learned why they're not washed.

We had an elderly neighbor woman over last month and were sitting around the campfire grilling and baking potatoes in foil. She explained how they cooked potatoes and eggs as kids on an open fire. I questioned. They packed mud-like humus or peat around the potato or egg and threw it into the fire, rolling it around a bit.

The next morning I prepped and ate breakfast outside, cooking the eggs as she stated. It worked perfectly. Four eggs, hard boiled in about 20 mins. I have done it a few times since, once softboiled with dipped grilled asparagus spears.

Re: How to test an Egg for Freshness...Is it safe to eat?
Like was said above, if you have your own chickens, don't wash them....and if you keep their hutches fairly clean, you won't need to.

I had some at least month old eggs for breakfast this morning that weren't refrigerated, as my refrigerator is already full of eggs.....

It is still possible to occasionally get a bad egg....so if I'm preparing a bunch of scrambled eggs from my unrefrigerated stash, break each egg in individually into a cup....then dump the cup into your bow....don't just crack them all into one bowl, because that bad one you find will ruin the whole batch.

You will be certain if you've cracked open a bad egg within seconds. There will be no doubt in your mind...LOL!

Ah yes the "bad one" you will not forget that experience or have any questions on what a bad egg smells like either.

Well Ive never heard or known about anyone getting sick from eating a fucking egg unless the thing was ancient to begin with.

Common sense people.

Well in does not happen very often with homegrown. Store bought eggs can be up to 2 weeks old by the time you take them home.

I actually had a potential customer tell me that he does not buy farm eggs, he "only trusts store bought eggs." Unbelievable.

test eggs for freshness by dropping them carefully in a jar of water,,,if they float they are no good.if they sink they are good
