refrigerating eggs

[james81]

After eggs are layed.

How long can you leave eggs out before refrigerating? Before they start to go bad.

Depends on how hot the room is. At normal room temps (around 65-75 F), weeks or months depending on how sensitive and picky your tastebuds are. At hotter temperatures (e.g. 90 F) a few days or weeks, again depending on your tastebuds. They remain perfectly fine for baking etc for a good while after they have lost their farm-fresh taste for being fried up and eaten plain.

Of course you would not want to leave *fertile* eggs lying out at temps over 80 F or so for very long, unless you have unusual-for-North-Americans tastes...

Good luck, have fun,

Pat
