Can you keep raw egg scrambled in a container the refrigerator?
It is generally not recommended to store raw egg scrambled in a container in the refrigerator, as it is not considered a safe food handling practice and can increase the risk of foodborne illness.
Scrambled eggs are a cooked dish, and should be consumed promptly after cooking. For the storing cooked scrambled eggs, it's best to let them cool completely and then transfer them to an airtight container before refrigerating. Cooked scrambled eggs can be safely refrigerated for up to 2 days.
On the other hand, raw eggs are highly perishable and should be handled carefully to prevent the growth of bacteria, such as Salmonella. It's best to store raw eggs in their original carton and keep them in the coldest part of the refrigerator, usually the back or bottom shelf.
Raw eggs can be stored safely for up to 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the "use-by" date on the carton. Storing scrambled eggs in a container does not extend their shelf life and may actually increase the risk of contamination.
