Eglu cube or go up with 2m run

I was surfing for the egg size grades and stumbled across the "Lion Mark" egg website. They had some lovely recipes (but I'm not convinced by them as an organisation as I think they could do more to promote free-range or organic egg sales). Anyway, I saw that they say here to store eggs in the fridge! I store ours on the kitchen worktop in an egg-skelter - it keeps them in date order and I use the ones at the bottom and sell the ones at the top (just given this month's proceeds to Little Hen Rescue after their accident last weekend - see this thread )

 

Anyway, what do you do? Any advice welcome Thank you!

 

PS I have to say, they had some lovely recipes on there - I might have to try the veggie eggie bread cobbler And their eggonomics website had some good ideas too - but one of them uses egg noodles and the ones in my supermarket aren't free range I'll have to see if M&S sell them

I do exactly the same as you - store them on the worktop on an egg skelter and eat from the bottom and sell from the top!

Well,they aren't stored in the fridge at the supermarket,so why fridge them when you get home?

I have such a fast turnover with selling them at the door that they are never on the Skelter for more than a day or 2 anyhow,plus most cake recipes work better if the eggs are room temperature

 

I like that Cobbler recipe by the way - uses up courgettes & eggs in one go,which will be great for me in a months time!

Good point!!! Now I have even less faith in the Lion Mark website

 

(but like the look of their Curried Egg Fritata (sp) )

 

And they had tips for freezing raw eggs - see here. Not sure about the half teaspoon of salt though

I think DEFRA say they have to be stored in the fridge

 

We have them in the egg skelter on the work surface.

If you store them in the fridge the inner membranes shrink and pull in bacteria

I don't store mine in the fridge, never have and haven't killed anyone yet. I read that the constantly fluctuating temperatures of a fridge that is opened and closed regularly, and the moisture, encouraged the growth of bacteria.
