Ange1 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi, I know all about the floating/sinking egg test thing, but just wondering if I give eggs to people at work, what dates should I put on the box, eat by or best before. I have a feeling I've read somewhere it's something like 3 weeks after they've been laid is this right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've read 28 days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph101 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 We eat ours as soon as possible, or give them away straight way. The freshness is one of the main things that sets them apart from shop bought eggs after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 They will keep 28 days from date of lay. I keep mine on an Eggskelter (courtesy of Freddie on this forum) and not in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey Road Girl Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Because I wasn't as well organised as I'd planned to be, I found that eggs that were laid at the end of May were still passing the float test at the beginning of July. They had been kept at room temp in my cool kitchen. Keep in mind that raw eggs can be frozen (separated, whole or scrambled slightly) with a quarter teaspoon of salt or sugar (and labelled thusly so you will know whether to use them for sweet or savory dishes). Please correct me, eggsperts, if I'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
