Super great reference guide for all my egg lovin' peeps!
I do the float test on all of our eggs that get washed. However, if you"ve requested unwashed or purchase unwashed to keep the protective bloom then you can trust this method if you want to test before cracking!
Otherwise, I crack all my eggs into a custard dish before adding to the pan or recipe, just like I learned in Home Ec class in 7th grade! Mrs. McMullen would be so proud! 🥚
I hope you have a most egg-cellent Memorial Day holiday. Be safe and eat your protein! 💙❤️
Not sure if those eggs are still fresh? Grab a bowl of cold water and let nature do the testing! Fresh eggs sink and lay flat. Still safe? They’ll stand upright. But if they float... it’s time to let go.
