I've yet to find an egg gone rotten in the fridge. I fancied a quick raw egg (saves cooking, nothing much else about) and knowing that they have been festering in there for a while, looked at the sell-by date. Display-until date is 10th September and best-before 16th September. I've eaten eggs of very unknown vintage before and not had a problem. Sniffing the egg contents didn't induce vomiting either, so it must be okay, right? I'll have just the one.

Hmm, true. So far so good. I used to regularly eat raw eggs but I suppose it's best to nuke them first.Originally posted by Zippy View PostComment

That's not to say that the egg won't be tainted though. The shell of an egg is porous, which is why you shouldn't keep them in the fridge with your smelly cheese (unless you want cheesy eggs).
You should really use eggs within a couple of days of laying to get the best out of them, but you can leave them for up to 4 weeks. You're well past that now though, so best to keep it for another 100 days and sell it to somebody who likes chinese food..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I have eaten eggs more than 2 months after the 'used by date'.
Shake them and if there is an air bubble in there then they are off. That is what I was told.Comment

C S Lewis had a thing about eggs going off
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad
I wonder what he meant

Similar test for the air bubble is to put them in water and see if the pointed end floats up. At least, that's what I've heard, but I often find I put eggs in water and they appear to float up a bit anyway. I presume that if they are genuinely off then the floating with be totally blatant, like standing up in the water.Originally posted by minestrone View PostComment
