Want to hard boil eggs how do you know if they are still good before boiling them?

There are a few ways to check if eggs are still good before boiling them.

1. Look at the expiration date. All eggs have an expiration date, which is typically printed on the carton. Don't use eggs that are past their expiration date.

2. Float test. Fill a bowl with cold water and gently place the eggs in it. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom, while bad eggs will float to the surface.

3. Smell test. Crack the egg into a bowl and smell it. If it smells bad, it's not good.

4. Visual inspection. Look at the egg white and yolk. The white should be clear and the yolk should be yellow or orange. If the white is cloudy or the yolk is discolored, the egg is not good.

If you're still not sure whether an egg is good or not, it's best to err on the side of caution and throw it out.
