Getting close!

My shame is greater. I’ve been experimenting with just how old an egg can be where I can eat it and not get sick and still be decent tasting. So far some from beginning of August are still good. I have some from July that I’m still debating on trying or giving to my dog.

I have cooked store bought eggs that were at least 3 months old.

At @Nifty-Chicken, you gonna be around to help us confirm what time we hit 23m?

If they aren't floating I think they probably good. I got a bunch of pea eggs from August that I didn't set and didn't refrigerate, I bet those float!

Oh I ate em when they didn’t float so I stopped float testing and just do the individual inspection once I crack em open.

Mine don’t last long on the counter so I always refrigerate. My house temp stays at around 74 in the summer. And 72-73 the the rest of the year

mr muddy actually asked me this morning why I preopen the eggs before he cooks them.....i told him it’s out of habit of not knowing if my quail eggs are good or not

We got up to 90 something in the house a couple of times.

Oh in that case it’s not uncommon. Plus these were more fresh than storebought so that helps.

So how old are storebought eggs by the time we buy em? (Well used to buy em, for some of us)

I have a bunch of turkey eggs that I took after the hen had sat on them for 2 weeks last summer or fall. I probably ought to get them out of the house before they explode.

 

[casportpony]

I got some of those in the garage.

I crack all eggs in a dish separate from whatever I am making. I feel it helps me spot any anomalies before they make it into the rest of the ingredients.
