]]>Every carton of eggs comes with an expiration date imprinted and checking it can be your first clue. If there’s a production date on the carton, the general rule is that eggs are good for three to five weeks from then.
Test the suspicious egg by putting it in a bowl of water. If it sinks, it’s still good. If it floats, it’s best to toss it. This happens because small air pockets form inside the eggshell within a few weeks, so this is a good test for determining if the eggs are fresh or old.
You can see exactly what you’re dealing with if you just crack the egg, just make sure to crack it into a separate bowl instead of adding it to some other food directly in case it got bad.
