How to Keep Fresh Eggs Safe
If you don’t open them, liquid eggs that are used in cooking can last up to a week past their “sell-by” date. But you should use them within two days of opening them. When properly packed and kept in the fridge, egg substitutes can be kept for 10 to 14 days. They are often used in baking.
It’s important to keep eggs below 40°F to stop germs from growing and getting people sick. In warmer places, it’s important to be careful about leaving egg-based meals out at room temperature, where bacteria like to grow.
To find out if an egg is still fresh, all you have to do is the “float test.” If the egg falls to the bottom of the dish of water, it’s still fresh. If it floats, though, it might be older.
Keeping eggs safe and fresh for longer by following these easy keeping tips will let you enjoy them for longer.
