Notes
- The fresh egg test
- Fresh eggs will cook better and the yolks brighter. You can tell how fresh your eggs are if they sink or float. Test before you boil them!
- If They Sink: A fresh egg will lay on its side on the bottom of a bowlful of water..
- If They Float Upright: If they are a little older, they’ll still sink, but stay on one end. They’re fine to eat.
- If They Float: Don’t eat eggs if they float to the surface of the water, these are expired and not to be eaten!
