Way too many eggs!

Put the eggs in water. If they float, throw them out. If they are kind of tilting (trying to float) they are getting old, but still safe. The freshest eggs will remain completely on the bottom of the dish.

I read a study about keeping eggs. If they are in a fridge they can last up to and over 1 year. There were all sorts of storage ideas tried but the fridge was the best storage. They will last for months on the kitchen table. They won't go bad fast. People in other parts of the world just keep them out. The only thing is the quality of the egg flavor will start to suffer after a long time.

Well, I had to buy eggs today, im sad and sickened . My chickens are giving me 2 a day, maybe so no eggs for everyone. I have called every where to find fresh eggs, nope all there chickens are either molting or not laying because it's winter. We went from 4 eggs a day tp 5 a week. Not good lol

If I have to clean my eggs, I wipe them down really well with olive oil before storage. That is an old way that people kept their eggs from spoiling, it works too. It also makes for beautiful pictures of eggs!

I was watching Modern Marvels and it was about chickens and egg production. What the commercial egg producers do after washing them they spray a light coat of mineral oil on the eggs to help them stay fresh.

If you have eggs that are getting to where you are nervous about freshness, you can crack them into a bowl, stir them up like you are going to scramble them, and freeze them. My mother in law does this all year with her extra eggs, and when their annual tent revival rolls around, they have "fresh" scrambled eggs every morning. She said they really taste like they have just been cracked.
