Yup two to three weeks should be fine on the counter. That's what we are going to do...heard they are MUCH better before being refrigerated.
We keep ours in a bowl on the counter, and usually, they're used within a week. I asked my Gramma about keeping eggs out, she said in the old days, they'd keep them at least three weeks. I think they bake better if they've not been refrigerated. Em
An egg ages more in 1 day on the countertop than it does in 1 week in the fridge. I wouldnt eat it if it has been out on the counter for more than a week.
I have a thing about rotton eggs...(a childhood thing) I date them with tiny numbers with a pencil, and keep them in the fridge. When I have too many, there is a lady up the street that will buy all I have. Do they bake better on the counter? I might have to try it.
I keep mine in the fridge and when I know I'm going to bake, I take out the number I need about 2 hours before.
