Finding an egg in the dirt.

I test mine in water, if it sinks completely it is safe to eat and if it floats it is rotten. If it is in between then I wouldn't eat it.
Nope, this^^^ is not true!

Floating an egg will only tell you how old it might be.
They float due to evaporation when older.
It will not tell you if an egg is 'good' or 'bad'.
Plus then you've wetted the egg so it should be thoroughly washed and refrigerated.

When in doubt....
Open eggs one at a time in a separate dish before adding to pan or recipe,
use your eyes, nose, and common sense to decide if egg is OK to eat.

It is just what I have always been taught growing up. So, what your saying is it could be fairly new, and still be bad? Like it got hot for a few days and went bad. This trick has worked for me so far, but your saying that ''new'' doesn't necessarily mean ''bad'' in some situations. Thanks, you learn something new everyday :)
