    Here is a note from Foodprint.org, which is certainly a more trustworthy source than my humble self:

    "Eggs will last up to five weeks from the purchase date; to check their freshness, place the eggs in a bowl of water. If they float, they are past their prime and should be composted."

      Hey, that's interesting.
      Thanks, Cats!
      "If it floats, just say 'nope'" Easy to remember.
      I assume the test works for scrambled eggs, I mean an egg is an egg.

          If they float, they're rotten. H2S gas.

          Different ways to keep eggs, preferably fresh ones...

          1. Don't wash the egg, store in a cool place in the home and you should be good for three weeks.
          2. Clean a couple of ice trays. Crack each egg, one-by-one, and mix with a fork, then pour into a compartment on your ice tray. Freeze and pop your eggs out. Store in a Ziploc bag in the freezer. Use within a few months.
          3. Liquid sodium silicate. Mix 1:9 with DI H2O. Half fill a crock with solution and lay your eggs in. Do not use over a five gallon crock. You must keep at least two inches of solution over your eggs. Cover and check periodically. If the levels calls to less than two inches above the eggs, add DI water. These eggs will last for months. As in six months, maybe longer.

            I've read that eggs bought in the US (perhaps Canada too?) should be refrigerated because of the way they're "sterilized." In European countries, the processing is different, so they should not be refrigerated, and it's OK to store on the countertop. I forget how long the storage is OK for, however.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Nah, it's because American eggs are washed and it destroys the coating on the eggshell.

                  1. Liquid sodium silicate. Mix 1:9 with DI H2O. Half fill a crock with solution and lay your eggs in. Do not use over a five gallon crock. You must keep at least two inches of solution

                  Thanks, Jolly. That's my #1. I've got lots of that stuff left over from my meth lab days. Glad I didn't throw anything out.

                  Eggs in an ice tray. That's something I might try, without telling my wife. I'll just start cracking and freezing eggs, see if she notices or says anything.

                    Don't forget to scramble or results may be less than desirable.
