Let me start with something that will sound odd to you. I have quit going into my kitchen because my family won't clean up after themselves. It has been several years since I cooked more than an occasional meal. Everyone in my family has gone in there and rearranged things to suit themselves. Hopefully, in a couple more years all the children and grandchildren we are raising will be out of the house and I can put things back the way I want them.
So, the thing is my family brings eggs in and they will either get left on the counter where they are not seen because of the mess on the counters or they will be left in a bucket or bowl of water in the sink and are missed also because of the mess. Someone puts them in water to test them and just leaves them. One time a bucket of duck eggs came in and they sat in water for who knows how long. My question is this: Can eggs get water logged? I dumped the water out and left them sit to dry out but since I don't go into the kitchen often, I didn't remember to go back and put them in the fridge. I don't know how long they have sat out but I put them back in water to see if they floated, they don't. I don't know how to tell if they are good or not now.
Thanks, Sylvia
