To find out if an egg is edible or expired, there are a few quick and easy methods, including the water dip technique.
An egg that has passed the DCR (Recommended Use By Date) is not necessarily expired. However, before eating it, whether boiled, fried, or soft-boiled, a test is necessary. To find out if it is still edible, you can rely on the technique of dipping it in water.
This consists of immersing the egg in a container filled with cold water such as a large glass, a saucepan or a bowl. If the egg sinks straight to the bottom, it’s still good and you can cook it.
On the contrary, if the egg rises to the surface of the water, it means that it is unfit for consumption. Sometimes it happens that the egg floats vertically in the middle. In this case, you can eat it, but the same day, and provided you cook it well.
Be careful, if the egg is broken or has small cracks, there is no need to do the test, you can throw it away immediately because bacteria may have gotten into it.
Concerning conservation, the Coves recalls that it is essential “to always keep the eggs at the same temperature in order to avoid the phenomenon of water condensation on their surface”.
Contrary to what we do naturally, it is therefore preferable not to store them in the refrigerator. Moreover, in supermarkets, they are never presented in the fresh produce section. The egg is indeed sensitive to changes in temperature.
