Kitchen HACK: How To Test If Eggs Are Still Good
Gourmandize Staff,
Never crack open a rotten egg again.
Have a carton of eggs that's beyond it's expiration date? Wait — they could still be good!
Eggs often stay fresh for days after their use-by date. This foolproof method will help you determine if you can still use them...
Here's the test:
Place eggs in a cup or bowl of water.
- If the egg sinks to the bottom, it's still fresh.
- If the egg stands upright, it's good to eat but should be consumed quickly.
- If the egg floats, it's no longer good to eat.
Why does this method work?
Eggshells are quite porous, and over time air enters the shell. This causes the egg to lose its freshness, and also float in water.
