Opinions vary when it comes to storing eggs. Some people use it for countertop storage, others swear by the refrigerator. Eggs can last a really long time no matter where they are, but they can spoil faster when stored in certain places.
If the broken egg white on a smooth surface is watery and spreadable, this usually indicates that the egg is spoiled. Although it's hard to tell without opening them, there are ways to prevent eggs from spoiling quickly. According to experts, instead of the counter, a refrigerator would be a good option.
Even the temperature is the secret
The storage solutions company claimed that although not necessary according to advice from the Food Safety Authority, a fridge is key to keeping eggs at their best, it revealed. From an Express article.
The secret to keeping eggs optimally fresh is a uniform temperature. This is why it's worth storing delicate foods in the refrigerator.
Eggs stored in the refrigerator last twice as long as eggs stored at room temperature.
But it's not as simple as placing a cardboard box on a shelf. According to the expert, you need to think a little more about where you keep it in the refrigerator.
Tips for proper storage
Never store eggs in the refrigerator door, rather place them on the middle shelves where the temperature is more moderate.
Although many refrigerators are designed with egg trays on the door, this is actually the worst place to store them because the temperature is not uniform. The expert explained.
Keep the eggs in their original box, or better yet, replace the porous container with an airtight version.
Even in the store without refrigeration, even then we store them refrigerated at home
Of course, many may argue that the refrigerator is not the place for eggs, since they are often stored unrefrigerated in supermarkets, but there is a good reason for this.
In many places, retailers are advised to keep eggs at room temperature so that condensation does not form on cold food when it is delivered home from the store, but consumers should refrigerate the eggs at home.
