Tips
Storing Eggs Like a Farmer
Quick tips to keep your eggs at peak freshness — from carton to crack.
Method
- 01
Keep eggs in their original carton — it protects them from odours and vibration.
- 02
Store on a steady refrigerator shelf, not in the door.
- 03
Pointed end down keeps the yolk centred.
- 04
To test freshness, place in a glass of water — fresh eggs sink.
- 05
Use within 28 days of the lay date printed on the carton.
Chef's tip
Refrigerated eggs keep best — never leave them at room temperature for more than two hours.
